Hello mrsray89. I understand you're unable to get your internal microphone to work.
Did the microphone work as expected when you had Windows Vista installed?
Have you tried installing the HP Software Framework and HP Support Assistant? You can then run the HP Support Assistant application and it will scan your system and install any missing drivers.
Also, I believe the internal microphone is part of the webcam's hardware. So, knowing whether the webcam is working will be helpful information. Try the following.
- Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
- Expand the "Digital Imaging Devices" section.
- List what you see.
Have a great day! I'll be watching for your reply.
