Built-in microphone on HP Pavilion DV6500 not working in Windows 8
Hello,
I would like to know why my built-in microphone does not work after I installed Windows 8 Pro 32-bit on my HP.
Please note that before on Windows 7 the microphone did worked.

Thank you!Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g4-2020tx Notebook and Bluetooth not working. Here are some links that might help. I would check to make sure Bluetooth is on. It shows you how to do that under Connecting Bluetooth. A device such as computer might need to have the Discovery setting turned on. To turn on Discovery in Windows 8, from the Start screen, type Change Bluetooth to open the Search charm, and then select Change Bluetooth settings from the search results. Hope this helps. Thanks. -
Microphone issue with pavilion dv7
I got a Pavilion dv7 for Xmas (don't ask me which model, as I can't find it using any of HP's help info!!!). I used a microphone with it, no problems. Recorded great, everything went smooth as pie. After the system auto-updated (it's the only possible cause i can find, as no other changes were made), now my external mic will not work worth poop. The recording levels are extremely low, tons of noise. I know it's not the mic, as it works OK on other machines. I can find no documentation to help me work with the Beats Audio system. Can anyone please help before I throw the computer or myself out a window!!!!!
I bought this HP Pavilioh dv7 w/Windows 7 Pro on it around November 30, 2012. I never bothered trying to do anything with the microphone until this month. I find that if there is no attached mic it will not record at all, although after spending 5 hours on support with HP they could not come up with a solution. If I attach an external mic it will barely record anything. I haven't been able to find any way to adjust mic settings and am at a loss. Earlier in this string it was suggested to go to device manager and revert to the previous driver. However, when I go there there is no previous driver to revert to. An external microphone will record a little if I yell in to it. I don't want this to be my first experience with HP, that a simple device fails and the whole unit will have to be shipped in for hardware replacement. Any information you can advise I will be glad to try. I am a fairly skilled user, therefore I am likely to be able to execute whatever is needed. Bill Harpe.

Pavilion dv7-1129 wm Entertainment PC
My hard drive is finally losing life. I have tried to diagnose the issue and it keep dieing. For example it will start scanning the hard drive and like in a couple of minutes it will shut down. When I turned it back on it will die. I will have to do it restart and it will die. What is your reccomendation. I really dont want a new laptop, this is one of the best laptops HP ever made. I am looking for hard drives for my laptop through the store. What is the cost?
Where are you located? The hard drive is very easy to replace and a good replacement is going to be way less than $100 US. Hard drives will be much cheaper purchased from a retail website like newegg.com. This one for example would be more than sufficient but you could do a solid state drive if you are willing to spend more like $150 and it would really boost performance:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236561
This is how you do it:

If you need help with software installation/migration post back. Your laptop can actually handle 2 hard drives and also post back if you want to pursue that option.

Microphone not working on Pavilion dv7
I have an HP Pavilion dv7 with Windows 7. I have had it for over 2 years and am just now attempting to get the microphone to work and having no luck. I have done the Audio Troubleshooter which could not identify the problem. If I go into the Control Panel > Sound and the Recording tab it lists External Mic (Currently unavailable), Integrated Microphone Array (Default Device), and Stereo Mix (Ready). I assume this means there is a mic built in, but am not sure if this is correct. I have never used a microphone before and don't know what the problem might be. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi i have the same computer with the same problem if i use a external microphone it work but due to the fact i hate the external microphone i don't understand why i cann't just talk...if some know please let us know thanks

Pavilion dv7 Microphone works, but not when setting up Wima Blackboard Webinar
Can't get microphone to install for Wimba setup for my Blackboard class webinars. Mic works otherwise. Pavilion dv7 user.
Here is a link to a document regarding batteries and testing the battery in HP Support Assistant.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00821429&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
If you don't have HP Support Assistant on your system follow the instructions below to download it:
Where do I get HP Battery Check?
You can download the latest version of the HP Battery Check for Windows XP as a single program. Or you can do one of the following download and install it as part of the HP Support Assistant for Vista or Windows 7 for your model; or see HP Support Assistant (English Only) .
Make sure you have had your ac adapter plugged in to charge the battery for at least 30 min before running the test from Support Assistant to get an accurate result.
Hope this helps

HP Pavilion dv7 Microphone delay, Windows 7 64-bit
I bought this notebook HP Pavilion dv7 a few weeks ago, so I tried recording with the external microphone and there is a very annoying delay which doesn't allow me to record audio properly. I haven't changed anything, it just doesn't work. How can I fix this?
Hi,
Please use the following instructions to check and fix:

HP pavilion dv7 microphone won't stay muted on reboot
I have a HP Pavilion DV7 P/N-A1L97AV with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I am having a problem with both the integrated microphone array and external microphone not staying muted when I reboot the computer. I can mute system sounds and reboot that is still muted when I reboot, but not the microphones. The only way to keep them muted is to mute all. The reason this is a problem is that when I reboot, if I forgot to turn sound down I get feedback until I can mute the microphone. I have not been able to figure out what has caused this but it is quite annoying, especially since I use the laptop with events for playback. I do use the microphone for recording classes forweb-based classroom for elementary schools so I need it operational.
Have you tried starting it without battery?
Have you reseated memory.
Try removing 1 stick of memory and see if it will start. If no joy,switch the memory sticks and try the other one.

I understand most laptops come with a built-in microphone so I'm having trouble identifying how to use it (if it exists) on my HP Pavilion dv6. It is cumbersome putting on a headset to chat on Skype all the time, and given the technology available, somewhat primitive. Anybody help?
CactusLander,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
Assuming your Audio setup is typical for Windows 7 or 8, and that (in general) your PC sound is in working order,
then the next place to look is in Skype.
Take a look at the following for "how to":
How do I adjust the sound settings on my computer and in Skype for Windows 7?
Start at the top and work down to and including the Section:
Checking your audio settings in Skype

Problems with built-in microphone Pavilion dv6700
I have a PC Paviliondv6700 and the built-in microphone is not working and i can´t find the driver anywhere. How can I get it? heeeeeelp need it urgently. Thank you

This should help a bit , in most cases the original driver that came with the unit caused the microphone to not be recognized . I got a link to the page that should help get you going in the right direction . I can't see the information i need to just link you the driver but i think you'll have it from there .
If this helped , hit the kudos button , I'm tryin to show these HP folks how its done . -
Looking for a high gain portable digital antenna for HP Pavilion DV7
Hi guys,
I bought a PAVILION DV7-3160 eh laptop this year. It has DVB-T MPEG-4 digital HDTV tuner originally made by Avermedia.
There is a problem that the digital signal is very poor at my living place. (It will be reduced until turning analog signal down finally. It will happen only 2 years later but I do not want to wait 2 years to watch digital TV channels.)
I have decided to plug a third party digital antenna to my laptop instead of the brand HP antenna.
I have founded in the Ebay a lot of digital (active and passive) arials but I don’t know what types are the best to my HP.
I’m helpless as the user manual tell nothing about technical details of TV tuner and it’s antennas.
I give preference to the high gain active antennas with built-in amplifier but these arials good for DVB-T USB stick and its are required 5V or more voltage. There are two types of arials, one is 50 ohm and the other is 75 ohm. (I have a conversion cable on the end a connector which is fit to my laptop (50 OMH) and on the other end a coax cable female connector(75 OMH) This two types is a little bit annoying.)
What are your opinions about this active type of antennas? Are these antennas compatible with my DV7?
Can provide DV7’s antenna connector the needed power to gain signal or the passive types are only suitable for my notebook? And what type would be better 50 or 75 OMH?
I would be glad if you answer my questions suggested me some useful portable antennas what are you using to your HP laptops.
Thanks in advance.

HP Pavilion dv7-6c09tx windows 8.1 pro issues
Hello!
I've just decided to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv7-6c09tx Entertainment Notebook PC to Win 8.1 pro.. Bit of an effort to say the least!
Installed all drivers here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4132&lc=en&cc=au&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5219...
..but the gfx wont install giving error this computer does not meet min requirements. All seems to work ok thpough until I try getting widi to work. nightmare! Can HP support pls provide correct config to use ie. supported driver ver for widi to work? the widi app says some xomponents may be missing after using the recommended widi update app for win 8. Now I can uninstall- it gives a msi error...
thanksHi @trevevs
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help.
As you stated there is not any updated drivers for Windows 8.1 on the driver page for your notebook only for Windows 8.
This tells me that it is unsupported on your notebook as it has not been tested by HP. This does not mean it will not work.
Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers
I grasp that all is working well except for the WiDi. Have you done all your Windows updates?
Windows 8.1 has WiDi built into the Operating System.
Introducing Intel® WiDi on Windows 8.1
Here is a link to Intel® WiDi Software Setup for Windows* 8.1

Still under warrantyHello schneids,
I see that you are having start up problems with your HP computer. I have a couple of suggestions that may help with your issues.
Here is a link to some troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your issues.
If you are still having trouble I would suggest testing the power adapter or trying a different power adapter. Most retailers will let you try a power adapter on the computer to see if it works.
Let me know what happens.

“Right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Click the Recording tab, right click the 'Integrated Microphone array' and select Properties. Click the Microphone Enhancements tab and put a tick in the box next to 'Disable microphone enhancements'. Click Apply and Ok to save this change and the restart the notebook - has this made any difference?”
