    Microphone not working in Windows 10 Professional


    Hello,



    I have tried several things to fix the microphone not working. My microphone setting is turned on for my device. The apps access are turn “on “ for camera, voice recorder, and Skype. Desktop Apps access is turned on. The microphone is not showing up in device manager under audio inputs and outputs only the speaker is showing. I ran a troubleshooter for recording audio but it did not fix the microphone. There is no microphone showing up within the voice recorder app. It appears that perhaps the hardware for the microphone may have not been installed. I have a Lenovo ThinkPad W540 workstation. Please advise.





    Mark

    :)

    External microphone does not work

    Hi Zarbab,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    The issue could be because of the microphone being in a disabled state. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works:



    • Open Control Panel and categorize to view by
      Small Icons.
    • Click on Speech Recognition and navigate to
      Advanced Speech Options > Microphone > Advanced
    • Check Real Conexant HD Audio, save the changes and exit
      Control Panel.
    • Restart the machine to see if the microphone works.


    Meanwhile, you may also want to go through the troubleshooting suggestions given in the following articles and see if they help:



    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,
