    Internal microphone is NOT WORKING since upgrading to Windows 11


    ASUS Q406D internal microphone is not working since upgrading to Windows 11.When searching in Chrome or Edge, I am unable to ask a question via initernal microphone and get a response. The system keeps responding with "Check your micrphone and audio levels". I have attempted to troubleshoot this WIndows Troubleshooting as well as using guidance from both YouTube and Google and am uable to resolve my issue. Under System --> Sound --> Volume Mixer --> Apps --> System Sound is set at 100 and Sound is set to 1 and I am unable to change this setting. Is this a problem?I have checked dri

    Internal Microphone; Gone After Windows 10 Upgrade

    My internal laptop microphone worked until I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I first noticed upon entering a Zoom meeting and no recording devices were recognized. This was one day after successfully using the microphone with Windows 7. Here are observations
    from what I've tried:

    • I have allowed mic access in privacy settings
    • There's no input device found in the sound settings
    • I can't "test" the microphone because it's not recognizing one
    • When I "troubleshoot," the device list shows two microphones; however, it refers to audio jacks, not an internal microphone
    • I went to the Device Manager to see if I could update the microphone drivers; however, no drivers are listed here to update
    I'm at a loss for next steps. How do I get Windows 10 to recognize the microphone in my laptop following the Windows 10 upgrade?

  3. Internal microphone not working

    Hello all, I got a new laptop (ASUS Zenbook). Everything was working for a few weeks and now the internal microphone stopped working when I turn on headphones (not headset - headphones without microphone).

    I tried video chatting and I could hear sounds but I cannot speak. But without the headphones, I can speak.

    • This is the same headphone and I could speak before.
    • I am sure that the microphone is enabled, and set as the default microphone.
    • All my windows updates are updated.
    • I restarted twice.

    I have windows 10 installed on it.

    Hoping you guys can help me, thank you in advance.

    internal microphone not working since updates

    Hi,

    We'd like to confirm if you're still unable to utilize the internal microphone after installing the update? If yes, as an initial step to get the microphone working again, we suggest that you update the driver under
    Audio Inputs and Outputs in the Device Manager. The steps on how to update the device driver on your device can be found on this
    link.

    We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
