Hi bjhamiltonokc,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, 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 saw your post regarding the problems with the microphone. You mentioned that you did something in the control panel? What did you do? What else have you done so I don't repeat anything? What operating system are you running? What is your product number?
Thank you,
