My office Lenovo Thinkbook was inadvertently updated to 24H2 Now Microphone wont work: Internal and external Web now littered with this (and other issues as you know .... ) Any watchers seen any solutions to this? Most posts like these: Hello everyone, I’m using a ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5 and recently ran into an issue after upgrading to Windows 11 version 24H2. The microphone volume is incredibly low, making voice communication nearly impossible on apps like Discord or during calls. After thorough troubleshooting, including reinstalling Windows, I identified the problem: a compatibility issue between Windows 11 24H2 and Intel Smart Sound Technology (SST) audio drivers. The "Audio Enhancements" option, typically found under System > Sound > Microphone Properties, is also missing in this version. When I revert to Windows 11 version 23H2, the microphone works perfectly, and the "Audio Enhancements" option reappears. However, updating to 24H2 causes the issue to resurface, which aligns with previous reports of Intel SST causing compatibility problems on Windows 11. And: Same issue here: New Lenovo Thinkbook ( 6 months old) W11 Pro 24H2: OS 26100.2605 "No Audio Device detected in Recorder" Microphone test: nothing... Updated Uninstalled, Reinstalled Reinstalled again Rolled back latest updates SFC: no issues DISM restore: no issues Not willing to do repair install unless fix guaranteed. Any insights appreciated.
