Answer 1

It sounds like you're experiencing issues with your audio input devices on your new Windows 11 computer. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

1. Check Device Manager: Open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start button and selecting "Device Manager." Look under the "Sound, video and game controllers" section to see if your audio input device is listed. If you see a yellow exclamation mark, there may be a driver issue.
2. Update Drivers: Right-click on your audio device in Device Manager and select "Update driver." Choose the option to search automatically for updated driver software.
3. Check Sound Settings: Go to Settings > System > Sound. Under the "Input" section, ensure that the correct input device is selected. If no devices are listed, it may indicate a driver or hardware issue.
4. Run Troubleshooter: In the Sound settings, you can also run the troubleshooter by clicking on "Troubleshoot" under the Input section. This may help identify and fix issues automatically.
5. Check Connections: If you are using an external microphone, ensure it is properly connected to the correct port and functioning. You can also try using a different microphone or audio input device to see if the issue persists.
6. Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date. Sometimes, updates can resolve hardware compatibility issues.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to consult the manufacturer’s support for your audio device or check for any specific compatibility issues with AVS4YOU software on Windows 11.

Answer 2

Hi, I am an Independent Advisor and welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

Let me help you with this issue.

Please hover your mouse over the sound icon at the lower right-hand corner, then right-click it and click Troubleshoot Sound. Let the troubleshooter finish its task, then this should either resolve the problem or display an error message.

If that doesn't work, we need to remove the Audio driver from the Device Manager and restart the PC to reinstall it.

Here are the steps to completely remove a Device from your computer.

Step 1. Use shortcut keys Windows key + X.

Step 2. Select Device Manager.

Step 3. Expand the entry Sound, Video, and Game Controllers. Right-click the problematic device, which is either Realtek Audio, or AMD High-definition Audio, or High-Definition Audio, depending on the audio device installed in your PC, and select Uninstall device.

Step 4. You need to check the option Delete the driver software for this device and then click the Uninstall button.

Step 5. Reboot the computer.

After the reboot, please see if the problem is fixed.

If that still does not work, please visit the support website of your laptop or desktop and then download and install the latest Audio driver, then restart the PC.
