The option for Windows to update my driver is grayed out, so I can't even click on it.Īctually, I have another interesting addition.
So I don't even know how to update the audio driver. even though it says it's specifically for my computer (HP envy 14-1111 nr IDT high-definition audio codec). However, Windows just doesn't show that the microphone is picking up any sounds still.Īlso, I tried installing an audio driver update for my computer from the HP website, but it aborts the installation because apparently it's not the right one. When I tap on the microphone, I can hear the tapping through the headset. I have Turtle Beach x12 headphones which play sounds that the microphone is picking up, and I can hear those sounds through the headset. I still think it is a problem with the audio driver or something because the microphone definitely is working. One thing I am confused about though- how exactly are you supposed to do an "in-line" test for the microphone? The instructions are confusing. And the microphone doesn't work with any programs. On the Windows recording devices screen where it lists the microphone, it doesn't show the microphone picking up any sound (only the integrated microphone).
I did all of the steps to get the microphone to work, but it still doesn't work. Is there something wrong with the microphone/headset jack? What can I do to fix this? This is incredibly frustrating because I've spent money on different microphones, but now I'm thinking it's my computer's fault. It is basically saying that it can't detect any sound from the mic. But no matter how much noise I make into the mic, my computer doesn't recognize any of it. My computer recognizes that my headset has a mic when I plug it in, because the independent headset microphone pops up on my recording devices.
I've made sure that the mic is enabled, and I've set the headset mic as the default recording device, and made sure it's not muted, and even tried like 3 different types of headsets, but it still doesn't work. The audio always works fine- I can hear things properly coming from the headphones. I also put the audio plug into the correct port. I plug in my headset and put the plugs into the correct ports, including putting the Mic plug into the port with a picture of a headset/mic. Hi, I have an HP Envy 14-1111 nr notebook with Windows 7, and I have always had problems with microphones working.
