The built in microphone level has always worked but it tends to sound like a speaker phone to people of course. Volume is low even when the volume is set to maximum on Windows 10.Īll this setting change does is to enable the built in microphone at the same time as the external micrphone I tested that by tapping on the screen where the built in microphone is located. After attempting seemingly random settings changes in the Realtek HD Audio Manager I thought I found something that works to fix the low 'external' microphone volume problem I'm having in Skype. I can't put my finger on what changed, just when.
The microphone was working as I recall in February and March. Is there a way to go back to an earlier driver or Lenovo update when it worked? If anyone else has experienced this, it seems like a software change, either a driver update or Lenovo update. I've seen this sort of problem reported several years ago on other models in the forums, but this is new as of the date of this post. I have to yell to get any green bars in the skype audio settings. People on skype calls say they can't hear me, and that the microphone sounds very faint or low.
In April or May ofsometime in the last two months, the microphone volume has gotten low.
