How to disable built-in mic

[DeezNoodlezz]

Here's the laptop I use

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079TGL2BZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've come to realize that, when I plug in my earbuds with a mic, not only does it use the earbud's mic, but it uses the laptop's built-in mic as well, which is right below the left alt key. This allows for the person hearing me hear the disk drive or fan and typing sounds, which might get annoying for them. I've tried to make it to where it only uses my earbud's mic when I plug it in, but it always uses both my earbuds mic and built-in mic.

 

plz help

go to your speakers.

click on ''record''

right click the mic and click disable

If I disable this microphone, it disables both built-in and earbud mic.

Now, it's not even picking up my earbuds mic and is using only the built-in mic instead ;-;

Can you give me the full product name of your laptop? I can look if I can find anything.

It's an combo audio jack I see . Try setting the port to mic and check if you still got sound through your ear buds. And reneable your Mic for now

I'm not quite sure how to set my port to mic. I do remember seeing a pop-up whenever I plugged in my earbuds, prompting if I plugged in a microphone, headphones, etc. I remember checking headset to default, but now I don't know how to change the setting.

doesnt your laptop have a mute mic button you can use? most laptops have function keys to do things like those

No, it doesn't have a mute mic button. Even if it did, it would probably mute all mics.

Do you use any brand of earbuds or just the ones that came with your phone?

do you have any ''realtek audio control panel'' or something silmilar? I think you need to change what input the port is recieving
