Hey guys! So I've been trying to fix this problem for days. As soon as I updated to Win8.1, I started having problems. (Literally as soon as, I was using Skype/Mumble right before update, it was fine. Everything broke after the update, and it's happened to multiple people.) I've seen these same questions asked on Microsoft forums, usually inconclusive or unhelpful. I have an HP Envy m6-1105dx. No other major changes within the last few months. My computer detects the microphone, it is both enabled and the default device. It is visible in the "Recording Devices" tab, and I have tried opening properties and restoring everything to default. I opened the "Levels" tab of the microphone, and it is at 100 Volume, and +10.0. It is not muted. Fixes I have tried:
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. This fixed my Sound problems, and my speakers are working. When I try to do this for my microphone/webcam, there are no compatible drivers for Windows 8 for "Internal Mic (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC)". There are Win7 Drivers, but I have tried installing them. . . I receive an error message saying there is no compatible hardware on this PC.
Checking all sound levels, restoring mics to default settings, updating drivers/repairing drivers, checking wire connections, and multiple other fixes. I have ran audio wizard to check for problems, and none are detected. Scanned for hardware changes, nothing happened. I have also gone to device manager and opened the "View Hidden Drivers" option, to make sure the hidden microphone drivers were all updated. . . they are.
