R7-572 with Win 8.1
I'm pretty sure the microphones are on the front edge underneath the keyboard. It's a really odd place for mics, especially since this is a convertible. I wanted to confirm that's where they are.
I use Dragon speech recognition software and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to use a headset. I have a regular Andrea NC-181 analog headset with just a 1/8" plug. I am unable to get the computer to recognize it and use it.
So, in the meantime I've been using the onboard mics. Unless I have the mic disabled, every restart has it turned up and I will get echos between the mic and the speakers, and I nearly get feedback. Luckily I am able to use the mixer to turn down the mic, but still keep the mic on for Dragon to use. Weird, I know.
As you can see, I have some mic troubles that could use some fixing. Thoughts?
