Hello!
I used inspiron 1525 with Windows XP and all worked fine. After I did some upgrade and changed OS to Windows 7 64. All works now, but microphone doesn't. I tried many different variants, but I couldn't. Does anybody can help? Thanks.

Thank you. Of course, I tried Windows 7 drivers. But the problem is Dell officially doesn't support Windows 7 on Inspiron 1525. So I tried drivers from this place http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/driver-sets/inspiron-laptops-windows-7/inspiron-1525-windows-7-64-bit/ , but my microphone still doesn't work :(
 
Seems that the internal mic is not part of the sound card but part of the webcam:

But the audio driver can be an issue as well, so read through the thread I linked, changing to a different audio driver after properly installing the webcam seems to have worked.

Try the suggestions there and install drivers in Vista compatibility mode if they wont go in normally.
