Currently unable to use the internally built microphone on a NEW Acer Travelmate P4 laptop. Finally got the 3.5mm jack to work. After using a 4th headset the computer finally recognised as plugged into the jack, I had to reset the 3.5mm jack input and output defaults. The troubleshooter and driver updates for the internal microphone are telling me it is in currently in use and currently working and updated. It is also enabled and not muted. Still not picking up voice or any sound. Frustrating, why can't new stuff work as it should? This appears to be a common issue.

Some laptops have this Stereo Mix by Realtek thingy, you have to enable that. That's what i did. So thanks, this was useful <3

I bought a brand new Lenovo with Windows 11 and installed all the latest updates and the Lenovo BIOS update. The built-in microphone refuses to work when using any video conference software (Teams, Ring Central, Zoom, etc) but if I plug in a headset then everything works just fine! It is driving me crazy! (I blame Windows 11)

Hey everybody I found the solution, Go to your device manager and then go down to sound Video and game controllers, there you will see a option called Intel Smart sound technology for digital microphones;, most likely it is disabled' go through the steps to enable it and then your voice typing will work and your microphone that is built into your laptop will show up. that's what I used to type this comment, voice typing, it finally worked. peace
