headphones microphone changes to microphone array when connected when i want to use the built in microphone

Thank you for letting me know, Neon!

Apologies for the confusion. So, your headphone's built-in mic is not working, and therefore you want to use your HP All-in-One computer's built-in mic instead. Is that correct?

If so, please follow these steps:

> First, plug in your headphone device.

> Go to Settings > System > Sound.

> In Sound settings, go to Input. In the Choose your input device list, select Microphone Array (this is your computer's built-in mic).

Make sure to plug in your headphones first before setting the input to Microphone Array, as it will revert to the headphone mic by default otherwise.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need any further assistance.
