    Microphone does not work


    My microphone does not seem to be working. When I check the sound settings, the bar next to the microphone also does not move as if it doesn`t hear me..


    tried on some apps like Discord if it would work there, but that`s not the case, although it says my voice is connected.


    My mic is set to default and isn`t muted so that can`t be the problem.


    Whenever I call someone I can hear them but they don`t hear me.


    I`d need some help on the issue please..

    :)

  4. Microphone does not work

    Microphone suddenly stopped working

    My microphone is still not working. I even checked the BIOS as someone had suggested but there is no listing for the microphone in there.
