I have a laptop Lenovo G710 which i have upgraded to Windows 10. The laptop has an inbuilt microphone.

I'm going through the setup process with Cortana but my voice isn't being detected when getting Cortana to learn my voice.

I have done following to try and fix it but it hasn't yet worked:

  • ■ I checked in Device Manager and looked for Microphone(IDT High Definition Audio Codec) and it says "Device is working properly" when i got the properties of it.The latest driver was installed 09/07/2015.
    ■ Secondly, I have tested the inbuilt microphone out by going into Control Panel, then going to Speech Recognition > click on Audio Devices and making sure that the microphone is enabled.
    ■ I then right clicked on it "Properties", went to the "Levels" tab and increased the "Microphone level" to 100. "Microphone boost" is set to the max level.

If anyone can help me to fix this issue, it would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards.
 
Solution
Try disabling all other microphones and mic inputs in the Recording devices dialog. Right click on the Sound icon in the system tray and select "Recording devices."
