Couldn't agree more with John, microphones almost always start out in a disabled state and you need to enable them before you get the chance to actually record anything.<br />
After you enable the mic, remember to set it as the input device in your recording software.

I have a laptop and I want to record audio. I have 2 microphones (a budget one and a &quot;real&quot; one) But: recording audio with one of the two mics doesn't work: the internal mic of my laptop is used in stead. How can I fix this? Do I need to contact Lenovo?

However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
