    Built in mic and external mics not registering


    it just happened randomly, my built in mic has always worked fine and it just stopped. plugging in mics doesn't help at all either. im assuming i need to re download a driver or something. im not the most computer literate person ever so i figured i'd ask instead of downloading random shit i know nothing about.

    i have a

    Hi there, Welcome to Seven Forums.

    Sounds like you will need to re-download the driver for the audio card.

    Go to the ASUS website here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download

    Choose your product either by name or service tag ID

    Then choose you want to download drivers and then choose audio drivers.

    Download and run the file and you should be good to go :).

    Let us know how you get on,
