Windows 10: Realtek built in microphone not working Device...

Hi

I have a H.P. Pavilion Laptop 575RH8LC

Windows 10 Home 1909 Build 18363.720 Updated 11 April 2020


The speakers are working fine.


The microphone is not working. Named Realtek High Definition Audio.


The Realtek driver is listed as 6.0.1.8186



I use the "Test" Facility - nothing.



I go to Properties - Events, I get


Device HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0295&SUBSYS_103C8215&REV_1000\4&20c67dd5&0&0001 requires further installation.


Can someone talk me in simple words what I can do to get the Mic to work please.


Thanks in anticipation

:)

SurfaceBook built in microphone

All

SB had issue (twice now) where the Realtek built-in microphone didn't work when I was skyped. Rather than shutting down and rebooting the whole SB, I tried in Sound/Properties to disable the device so I could then enable the device.

But when I disabled, the microphone disappeared completely. Tried reinstalling drivers, uninstalled Realtek drivers, and reinstalled. Bluetooth headset works. Plugged in (3.5 mm) headset works - but not the built in microphone as it doesn't even appear
in the list.

Called MS tech support, but all they know how to do is read off a script. There last suggestion was to re-install the machine. Sounds like a sledgehammer for a fly solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

Step by step fix:

• I went into recording devices
• I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
• Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
• Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't

Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?
