    "Test Microphone" Wont Turn Off.


    So I went to test my microphone to see if it was working. I went in the settings tab and clicked system. Then I clicked Sound. I clicked the microphone button to test it, and it works. But now it wont turn off. I tried clicking the button again, but it just wont stop testing for voice input. Does anyone know how to turn it off, or if it can be?

    :)

    My hp laptop wont turn on

    This is a frequent problem am sure as you have already seen from online searches.

    Flea power is usually the culprit here, basically its residual power that remains on the computer even after thecomputer has been shutdown. You can drain the flea power with the steps the other answers have suggested.

    • Disconnecting the battery and adapter
    • Press the hardpress the power button for 30 seconds
    • This should clear the flea power

    If this doesnt work, read this article its about
    a dell inspiron
    but the same applies for you hp. It has some detailed step by step instructions

    Microphone & Speaking

    Hi tlcadieux2,

    There are a number of reasons why you are having challenges in using the Microphone while talking to Cortana.

    Below are the different methods on how to get this resolved.

    Method 1: Turn on the Microphone in Settings.

    This is the most common reason why the Microphone is not working. You can turn on the Microphone by following these steps:

    • Go to Settings.
    • Choose Privacy.
    • Click Microphone.
    • Under Let apps use my microphone, slide the toggle button to turn it on.

    Method 2: Set up Microphone from the Control Panel.

    Modifying the Sound Settings may help in resolving your concern. Follow the steps below:

    • Type Sound in Cortana Search.
    • Choose the first search result.
    • Click the Recording tab.
    • If you can’t find the Microphone from the list, right-click on the list then select Show Disabled Devices, otherwise proceed to step 5.
    • Right-click the Microphone.
    • Select Enable.
    • Click Properties.
    • Choose the Levels tab.
    • Set the Microphone volume to a higher value.
    • Choose the Enhancements tab.
    • Tick the box beside the Disable all sound effects option.
    • Hit OK.

    Method 3: Update the Microphone driver.

    Here’s an article that would walk you through the steps on how to update drivers
    in Windows 10. It also includes steps in case you would have to uninstall and reinstall the Microphone driver.

    Hope this helps!

    Kind regards,

    Leon
