Windows 10: Internal microphone of laptop not working after update to W11 24H2

After the installation of the W11 24H2 update the internal microphone Intel microphonearray of the HP Envy notebook is deactivated and it is not possible to activate it. According to the device manager the micropone should be ok says newest driver is installed and working. The HP-"Audiodiagnose" did not identify any problem. Nevertheless the microphone is not working. The same problem exists on our second HP Envy notebook. However after a rollback to W11 23H2 on this notebook the microphone did funtion again. There must be an incompatibility between the HP notebook and W11 24H2 Update. How

Laptop internal microphone not working in Windows 10

My laptop's internal microphone seems to not work at all, in spite of trying everything I could. When I use wired headphones, the bar in the microphone in 'Sound' does work, and bluetooth headphones seem to work as well as a separate microphone device in the list in 'Sound'. I tried the following and the problem still persists:

1. Did all the pending Windows updates (which were not detected for over a year due to an error)

2. Automatically updated microphone drivers

3. Updated microphone drivers with Audio Endpoint

4. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers

5. Manually downloaded and installed Realtek audio drivers from my laptop's website

6. Checked all the settings as suggested in various forums and solution videos, such unmute mic, allow mic permission, enable devices, troubleshoot, etc.

The troubleshooting of audio had returned a message 'Generic audio device detected', which I couldn't solve, in case that helps. In spite of all this, my internal microphone still seems to not work. However, I can often hear a vague noise feedback when i turn on the 'listen to the device' option in microphone properties, but does not register on the sound bar for 'Microphone'.

Kindly help me solve this as I have been suffering without microphone on my laptop for over a year now, and hoped that the pending Windows updates would finally completely solve this issue, which it didn't. Thanks 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.

 

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.
