Gateway laptop where is the mic

I would suggest you to update the Audio driver in device manager and check if it helps. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click System and Maintenance. Underneath Device Manager, click View hardware and devices. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue. Expand Sound, video and game controllers.

Right-click your Audio controller, and click Properties. Select the Driver tab. Click the Update Driver button. Drop a comment below and let us know your thoughts. Featured image by Seej Nguyen from Pexels.

May 28, 2 0 1, 0. I have a Gateway laptop that I bought a few years ago, but due to some problems I had with win8 I had to downgrade it to win7.

My internal mic used to work just fine but it just suddenly stopped working. I thought it was a problem with my laptop so I bought a headset and I was able to use it for like 2 weeks, however, it stopped working as well. I've tested my headset on different computers and it works fine.

I've managed to make it work a few times, if I check for driver updates some times it would work after that. But I don't know if it has anything to do with that or if it works just by chance. It's happened only a few times. Funny thing is, if I open the skype options window, and the audio settings tab, I can see the green bar moving when I talk. However, if I open the sound options on my laptop and check the recording tab, my mic is not giving any signs that it is working.

Same if I connect my headset. Then, if I attempt to call, the mic won't work.
