How Do I Know if I Have a Microphone on My Computer
There are typically two types of microphones on a computer: built-in and external. Built-in microphones are those that are included with the computer itself, while external microphones are those that are plugged into the computer via USB or other ports.
To check if a microphone is built in, you can access the Device Manager by right-clicking the Windows Start button and then selecting Device Manager from the pop-up menu. Double-click Audio Inputs and Outputs to reveal the internal microphone. If the microphone is listed there, it is likely built in.
If the microphone is not listed in the Device Manager, it is likely an external microphone. To check if an external microphone is connected to the computer, you can open the Sound window by pressing the Windows key and the S key at the same time, and then clicking the Sound icon. If the microphone is listed in the Sound window, it is likely connected to the computer.
If the microphone is not connected to the computer or does not appear in the Sound window, it is likely not installed on the computer. You can typically find external microphones at the store or online.
How Do I Test if My Mic Is Working
Testing your microphone
If your microphone is not working, you can test it by connecting it to your computer and checking to see if the blue bar rises and falls when you speak into the microphone. If it does not, your microphone may be defective and should be replaced.
Why My Mic Is Not Working
If your microphone isn’t working, ensure it’s securely connected to your PC. If the connection is a bit loose, it may appear to be plugged in fine, but may just not work. To ensure the connection is secure, you can pull out the cable whether it’s a USB microphone or just a traditional audio jack and plug it back in.
This is it
If you’re looking for a laptop with a built-in microphone, the best place to start is to look for a model with a gap between the display and the body. On some models, the microphone is located just above or below the hinge.
