Hi JimJustice,
Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having some issues recording audio. I see that you have tried multiple programs but what about multiple microphones? Do you have your microphone set as the default recording device? What is the product number for your Envy?
Thank you,
