I've been trying to use an external microphone on my HP Pavilion dv6 with no success. Here are my specs:
HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 Product #A1U60AV
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit sp 1
IDT HD Audio Driver ver. 6.10.6381.0
I've tried the the Windows Control Panel sound settings and the Beats Audio Control panel without success.
I've updated the driver and seen no change in behavior.
The laptop seems to recognize that a microphone has been inserted because the Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Recording window "External Mic" icon info goes from "Ready" to "Default Device" when the microphone is inserted but the gray bar never goes green and I'm unable to record any sound.
I've confirmed that the microphone works on another device.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks,
