Please, avoid telling me to download drivers, because that's not it. I need to use a microphone, I don't care which one.
Some previous topic gave the solution of bending up a little bit a tiny metallic piece in the jack connection of the laptop, but I have not been able to make that work. Interestingly, the laptop thinks it is a speaker as the built-in speaker stops working when I plug in the microphone. What I found is that the combo jack plug does not work when I plug in a microphone, even if it works when I plug in a speaker. What else should I try?Ģ) Now, I bought an external microphone because I really need to use Skype on my laptop and I was tired of trying to solve the previous problem. I have downloaded the most recent drivers and restarted my PC, and then I have tried downloading old ones and restarting again.
I have checked that the microphone is not muted I have checked that it is the predetermined device However, I haven't found a solution that works for me. I have two problems and both are related to audio recordingġ) The built-in microphone is not working. I have noticed that this is a very common issue.
