One of the most often used yet critical peripherals is the microphone, with which many users have faced issues. Messages including the HP Envy x360 microphone are not working one has been reported by them, but fear not.
It might be the internal microphone or an external one that you’ve connected. Whichever is the case, resolving issues that prevent the microphone from working is simple.
Microphone troubles are the most aggravating since they are frequently merged with hardware issues, which are sometimes begun by a loose connection. Follow along as we have put together a list of methods in which you can fix the HP Envy microphone not working error.
What can I do if HP Envy x360 microphone is not working?
1. Unplug and replug the peripheral
If your microphone isn’t working, check to see that it is properly attached to your computer. If the connection is a little sloppy, it may look to be properly plugged in, but it may just not function.
Ensure that the connection is secure by pulling out the cable, whether it is a USB microphone or just a regular audio jack, and plugging it back in.
Also, be certain that it is connected to the correct audio jack on your computer. Look for a jack that says microphone or at the very least audio in. The color of audio output jacks is typically green, but the color of microphone input jacks is typically pink.
Mute switches may be available on some microphones. On the wires of some PC audio headsets, for example, we’ve noticed mute controls for the microphone. If the microphone has a mute switch that is turned on, it will not function.
2. Update the driver
- First of all, right-click on the Start icon then tap on Device Manager to open it.
- Now expand the Audio inputs and outputs section and right click on the Microphone option in order to choose Update driver.
- Select Search automatically for updated driver software and then wait for Windows to search for and install the appropriate update.
Allow the processes to complete before restarting your computer to ensure that the changes are applied correctly. We strongly advise you to use a dedicated driver update program, such as DriverFix, to forego manually updating your drivers and save yourself some time.
3. Reinstall graphics drivers
- Navigate to AMD’s support page and download AMD Auto-Detect and Install Radeon™ Graphics Drivers for Windows®. This, of course if you are using an AMD chip, otherwise skip to the third step below.
- After you have installed the above software, run it and follow the on-screen steps in order to allow it to reinstall your Graphics drivers.
- If you don’t use an AMD chip, access Device Manager as we have shown in the second solution of this article, then expand the Display adapters section and right-click on all the options available to choose Update driver.
- Select Search automatically for updated driver software and then wait for Windows to search for and install the appropriate update.
