I have a HP Presario CQ56 Notebook and use windows 7.
I have been doing a language course online and the microphone in my USB headset stopped working after 3 weeks.
When connected the set is ticked as the default device (speakers and microphone) and I can hear with the headphones but the microphone does not work - Realtek registers the sound.
When I test the set I get the message the computer cannot hear the microphone.
When I click on the properties for the microphone it says its working correctly.
The software for the set is up-to-date.
I have tried many troubleshooting suggestions but getting nowhere.
I would be grateful for any help that is idiot proof as I'm not a techi.
Really missing my language course!
