Windows 10: Internal microphone on laptop stops working at random times.

The internal microphone of my laptop will suddenly stop picking up any input randomly; it's never consistent, but it will often stop working and then begin working again hours later. I have no idea what causes it and have tried numerous solutions to no avail. I have tried:- Checking that I have the correct input device chosen under Sound Settings tab.- Checking that the apps I use the microphone with have permission to do so.- Checking that the microphone is enabled, set as the default input, unmuted and at max through the Sounds tab.- Uninstalling and reinstalling the microphone through Devic

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.

 

laptop internal microphone

How can I activate my laptop internal microphone using Windows 7 Home Premium system to participate in Zoom meetings in order to hear and be heard in conversations? Video (picture) participation seems to work OK but I can't get the sound.. Laptop built
in speakers work OK for other uses so seems to be a problem with the internal microphone system. I don't want really to have to buy a headset with headphones and microphone to plug into a USB port ! Help please. Thanks. I am not very technically minded
so as simple guidance as possible would be appreciated with exact steps to try!

 

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!
