There is no microphone input in my audio settings. How do I access the driver to reinstall the microphone.

Please clarify the following:
Is the microphone internal or external?
If it is external, does the microphone have a standard audio connector (Jack connector) or a USB connector, or is it connected via Bluetooth?
Also, share a screenshot of your system information.
- Press "Windows + R", type
msinfo32and press Enter.
Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.
Looking forward to your reply.
