Windows 10: Integrated Microphone on HP-ef3xxx laptop is nonexistent.

The integrated microphone on my HP-ef3xxx laptop has suddenly dissapeared after some driver issues I thought I resolved - and I can't seem to find the right drivers to fix with. Does anyone have the right drivers, or a seperate solution?Edit: For some reason, the older issue has come back: My volume is stuck at 100% the sliders do nothing and it just plays at full or muted

Type C microphone on my HP Laptop

Hello Ramy Hussein,

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting to the community.

We fully understand the inconvenience the issue has caused and that the current situation can be frustrating. I'm sorry to pass on bad news, but from your description, and the cross-testing you've done so far, I think the crux of the problem lies precisely in the fact that the computer with the problem didn't succeed in installing the driver, which caused the problem.

“When i plug the Mic with USB Type C converter some drivers are installed which is totally different when I directly connect it to Type C port on my laptop.

The drivers that are being chosen while using the Type C converter is the same drivers that are being used with the other 4 PCs.”

The two paragraphs you shared show that a different driver was introduced through the USB Type C converter when connecting the microphone, and a different driver was used when connecting directly to the Type C port on the laptop. This could be the crux of the problem, as incorrect drivers or driver conflicts could cause the microphone to not work properly. One way to resolve this issue may be to ensure that the microphone connected to your computer is using the correct driver. It may be necessary to locate and install the correct driver for the USB Type C connection or the driver associated with the Boya microphone. You can search based on the drivers installed on the other 4 computers and then try to see if you can install the missing drivers directly on your HP laptop to fix this issue. Alternatively, you can share screenshots of the relevant drivers and I can try to see if I can search for them for you.

Also, you mentioned that the same thing happens when you test other microphones, so this suggests that the issue is not just related to a specific Boya microphone. Therefore, it seems to me that the problem is not limited to a single microphone, but may be related to the microphone driver or firmware of the HP laptop.

In this case, you may consider the following steps:

1. Check if the microphone drivers for your HP laptop need updating. Visit HP's official support website to see if there are the latest drivers available for your model.
   
2. Attempt to upgrade the firmware (BIOS/UEFI) of your laptop. Sometimes, updating firmware can resolve hardware compatibility issues.
   
3. Ensure that your operating system, drivers, and microphone firmware are all up to date.
   
4. Seek further troubleshooting with support from HP's official channels or the relevant hardware manufacturer to determine the root cause of the issue.

Integrated Microphone does not work

I installed a web video program called VSee and for some reason the built in webcam is working but my integrated microphone is not. I have tried all the troubleshooting found on the message boards but it is still not working. It says the device is enabled
and working properly. I have windows 10 installed and my laptop is a HP Pavilion dv7. Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have an infrared camera? Normal webcam doesn't work.

Your laptop must have:
