Hi,

- forgive the obvious question- have you tried using a System Restore point created before this occurred?
(Only available if you've ever enabled System Restore).

It's helpful to use the forum facilities thus



- here's your 4th:

Please try the Microphone Troubleshooter and post the result:




and this one:




Inspect your Update History - did you receive any updates around the time this started?
Towards the bottom- also look at driver updates.

What is the model and aproximate age of your laptop?
Please post a link to its driver download page from the manufacturer.

Built in Microphone not working

Hello,

I've been having a problem with my laptop (MSI GF63) Built it microphone that it's not picking any sound. It was working the day i bought the laptop (few weeks ago) and for some reasons it stopped working all of the sudden. I tried to check the privacy setting
and it's all good and there's nothing interfering with the mic. I also tried to reinstalling the driver (Realtek HD audio) multiple times and still no luck. I even reset windows and It worked for a day (Before i shut the laptop down i believe) and it's not
working again . The weird thing is when i try to "set up the microphone" the built in mic, the troubleshooter doesn't gave me the step where you try to speak to your mic and straight up just gave me "Your microphone might need to be set up" with the green
checklist logo on the right still having the same problem.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thank You
