    Hi Danout. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Guardian Moderator here to help you.

    I will give you all possible fixes to try in sequence. Even if you've already tried one I'd do it in this order as one step may affect the next.

    Please run the Recording Sound troubleshooter at Start button > Settings>Update & Security>Troubleshoot.

    Try these fixes next:

    Some report that what worked is turning off Fast Startup at Settings > System > Power & Sleep > Additional Power Settings > Choose what Power buttons do > Change Settings Currently Unavailable > uncheck the box for Fast Startup, Save Settings. Restart and then
    disable Hibernate file to clear it, restart PC again and enable Hibernate again:

    Right click the volume icon in System Tray at right end of task bar, open Recording Devices, see if the microphone is listed, set it as Default device.

    Type Microphone in Start Search, open Set up Microphone, scroll down to Microphone and choose Get started to set it up.

    Try rolling back the sound controller drivers in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu. Choose Sound controller device, then Driver tab, then Roll back if available.

    Update the Sound drivers from the PC's Support Downloads web page. While there make sure you also have the latest Chipset, Display, Network, USB and all other drivers, comparing with the version presently installed in Device Manager.

    If no newer driver then uninstall the ones presently installed in Device Manager, reached by right clicking the Start Button. Restart PC to reinstall.

    When did this behavior begin? If you have an idea you might be able to System Restore back to a point before it began:

    It's possible this was caused by a Windows Update so if nothing above works, go to Settings>Update & Security>Windows Update, check the Installed Updates list for Updates that might have been just installed, try uninstalling them using the Uninstall button
    present there. Then hide the Updates using the Hide Updates tool downloaded from here:

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f2...


    If this was caused by a Version update (which you can confirm at Settings > System > About) then for ten days you can roll back Version in Settings>Update & Security>Recovery and hide it until it matures using the Hide Updates Tool downloaded from here:

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f2...


    If there are other performance problems then go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...


    Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue
    with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

    Others are fixing USB mic and headset issues with Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account, because the account is corrupted and this is the only fix.

    If nothing else helps then run a Repair Install by installing the Media Creation Tool and choosing from it to Upgrade Now. This solves many problems and will also bring it up to the latest version which you need anyway and by the most stable method.

    Microphone Buzzing

    My microphone is buzzing and I watched a video that says if you go to the enhancement tab and enable the echo thing it will stop, but I don't have the enhancement tab. I also watched another video about how you can change your audio driver from Realtek to
    High Definition Audio, but I don't know if my computer is compatible with that driver. How do I check to see if that driver is compatible with my device.

    In short, either: how do I stop microphone buzzing. How do I get the enhancements tab in sound settings. And how do I find out if my device is compatible with the "high definition audio" driver.
