I've had this laptop for a couple of years now and I've never quite figured out how to turn it on. It's a built-in microphone and for some reason, I can't quite get it to work.

The laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6736nr Entertainment Notebook PC if it matters.

Thanks.

Control panel-->Sounds and audio devices-->Audio/voice
On sound recording, go on volume and turn it up fully. If not maybe your laptop is like mine, it's microphone is very quite. Go on test hardware and test it, sometimes you have to go really close to the screen and almost shout at it.

If it still doesn't work you can buy a cheap microphone in a shop for around $10.
Good luck.

Have you tested it? Maybe it's just broken

None of the above worked :/

@The Black Tux, how do I tell if it's broken?

Taking it to an electronics store and letting them examine it seems like a good idea.

Has it ever accidentally fallen on the floor before? I remember when my old laptop's mic got fucked when my dad dropped it.
