It might be the internal microphone or an external one that you’ve connected. Whichever is the case, resolving issues that prevent the microphone from working is simple. Microphone troubles are the most aggravating since they are frequently merged with hardware issues, which are sometimes begun by a loose connection. Follow along as we have put together a list of methods in which you can fix the HP Envy microphone not working error.

What can I do if the HP Envy x360 microphone is not working?

1. Unplug and replug the peripheral

If your microphone isn’t working, check to see that it is properly attached to your computer. If the connection is a little sloppy, it may look to be properly plugged in, but it may just not function. Ensure that the connection is secure by pulling out the cable; whether it is a USB microphone or just a regular audio jack, and plugging it back in. Also, be certain that it is connected to the correct audio jack on your computer. Look for a jack that says microphone or at the very least audio in. The color of audio output jacks is typically green, but the color of microphone input jacks is typically pink. Mute switches may be available on some microphones. On the wires of some PC audio headsets, for example, we’ve noticed mute controls for the microphone. If the microphone has a mute switch that is turned on, it will not function.

2. Update the driver

2.1 Manually update the driver

Allow the processes to complete before restarting your computer to ensure that the changes are applied correctly. Afterward, the HP Envy microphone not working error will be solved. SPONSORED We strongly advise you to use a dedicated driver update program, to forego manually updating your drivers and save yourself some time.

2.2 Use an automated tool
