    Microphone doesn't work on laptop


    Whenever I try to use my microphone in any app, it doesn't work, even when I plug in my headphones, my headphones don't get recognized as a playback device and also not as a recording device aux. I am using a Lenovo S540-15IWL GTX.On OS build 18363.1316 and
    Motherboard: LENOVO LNVNB161216, ver SDK0J40700 WIN, s/n YN008PD0
    System: LENOVO, ver LENOVO - 1, s/n YN008PD0


    The bar doesn't move at all when I speak into my microphone or my laptop. I tried changing default devices but that didn't do anything.

    I tried reinstalling my audio drivers multiple times realtek from the lenovo website and the official realtek website but it just doesn't do the trick, Every guide online is just telling me to reinstall drivers or to troubleshoot, but this doesn't work. I also checked the privacy and everything seems in order there. Also changing audio enhancements etc.. doesn't do anything.

    The only fix that I found is temporarily, and that is by deleting the realtek drivers, then it gets replaced with Microsoft's High definition audio driver, but even after setting my PC to not automatically update drivers, after a couple of restarts realtek audio is back. But because I can sometimes make it work temporarily, I know it isn't an issue with my headphones or inbuilt mic.

    The only thing I did notice is that in my device manager there is a driver that isn't on my pc with a yellow warning sign called Detection verification.

    :)

    Microphone doesn't work on laptop

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
