Medion Erazer P7651 MD61016 Built In Microphone not working

[wizwych]

Hi guys and gals 

new to the forums and hoping someone can assist me Im using window10 x64 on the Medion Erazer P7651 MD61016 when i try to record anything via the Record function in windows It just sounds like a Raining noise.

Things ive tried so far

1 = Device Manager uninstall/reinstall Microphone ( nothing happened still the same )

2  = Update the Realtek HD drivers ( Didn't do anything for mic but did improve speaker sound)

3 = Taskbar SOUND icon RECORDING set MICROPHONE to default and put MICROPHONE VOLUME to max and turned BOOST down to half 

4 = Microphone Icon appears on TASKBAR when I go to Voice Recorder It records but not my voice just sounds like rain/static

Can anyone please advise on any more that I can try to get the microphone working..

Hi, is it possible that there is pluged in a Headset or Headphones in the Headset Port at the PC.

Maybe that can be trigger the PC that there is pluged in a Mic and route the signal to the port and not to the built in Mic?

You can try remove all pluged in devices and than try a new record to proof that idea.
