drivers for the laptop
Instructions
Step 1
Quite often, mobile computers are endowed with a built-in microphone. The presence of this device in a laptop with a web-camera is especially important. To use the microphone successfully, it must be activated and configured properly.
Step 2
Turn on your laptop and wait for the Windows operating system to load. Click on the "Start" menu icon and open the properties of the "My Computer" item. Go to the Hardware tab and open the Device Manager menu.
Step 3
Find the microphone you want, among other equipment. If there is an exclamation mark next to the name of this device, update its drivers. It is best to use the original files provided by the laptop developers.
Step 4
Visit the website of the company that makes these mobile computers. Open the downloads section and download a set of drivers designed for your laptop model. Update work files manually using Device Manager.
Step 5
Use the built-in Sound Recorder utility to test the microphone. Open the Start menu, select the Accessories directory, and open the specified program. Click the "Record" button and check if the microphone is working properly.
Step 6
Considering the fact that the sound receiver can be located quite far from the signal source, it makes sense to adjust the microphone parameters. Open Control Panel and select the Hardware and Sound menu.
Step 7
Open the link "Manage audio devices" and select "Record". Click on the microphone icon and click the "Properties" button. Go to the "Levels" sub-item.
Step 8
Change the parameters in the "Microphone" column. If the selected power is insufficient, activate the “Gain” function. Click the Apply button.
