You may need to increase the microphone level, it may be set too low.

hi
this is gopal from hp did you see that the microphone is working or not means the hardware not the software.

Hi, connect another screen (crt or lcd) to the video output to see if the internal circuitry works ok. If it does then your fault is either the cable to the HP screen or the circuitry inside the screen. If you have no picture on the other screen, the fault is inside the notebook.

Check to make sure you have it plugged in and not working off the internal battery. Sounds like a low battery power shutdown.

Hi, You hav to purchase a Microphone and then connect it to tour computer...

Goto start-control panel-sound after that click recording tab. u can select y your microphone from there.
