Hello,
I've seen a couple posts about internal microphones already, and I've gone through those steps, but they haven't seemed to fix the issue so I thought I'd see if there might be some other options
I'e already completed these steps:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5577845/internal-microphone-not-detected
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5622791/in-built-microphone-not-detected
But there's still no internal microphone showing up on the list... Even showing the hidden devices, the only microphone popping up is my USB mic.
It has been a little while since this started happening, I can't remember how long, but there was a time I could use the internal mic, and then a time where it wasn't working anymore.
Thank you in advance!

2025-11-18T00:52:11.89+00:00 Have you already downloaded and installed the audio driver from Lenovo for your model? If not, this is the link: https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/t2au0c0feh3j6mf0.exe
Download and install, and let me know how it goes.

2025-11-18T01:16:47.0533333+00:00 If your internal mic is supported via the Intel smart sound, instead of being Realtek, try the first driver on this list: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/lc/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-7-2-in-1-14iml9/83dj/downloads/driver-list/component?name=Audio&id=3AA7F1C4-5B2A-453C-9CE2-B8FCDA8B69BA Let me know if that makes any difference.

2025-11-18T01:32:00.5633333+00:00 You are welcome. Now we know the mic is on the intel smart sound card. If all is good, feel free to mark the answer for this thread, or let me know if you need anything else from me.
