    Microphone isnt working


    Hi,

    I have a HP pavilion x360 laptop. It has a built-in microphone and it isn't working. If there is a loud sound, it will detect it kind of, and it picks up some background noise. But it cant detect voices.

    All drivers are up to date and the troubleshooter says there is no issue, and the apps I'm using have permission to use my microphone. But when I am on zoom no one can hear me, and Cortana cant hear me either.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    :)
