My friends laptop a HP ProBook 650 G1

 

He has this problem... When he tries to use teamspeak or some other program the mic does not work, unless when he calls someone on skype and/or mutes it.

Skype works just fine, but the other prrograms does not.

Be sure the other programs have the same setting as Skype, same microphone selected etc... Make sure the microphone isn't muted in those programs.

Is his microphone selected as the default recording device?

Skype uses a different setting than the one Windows uses, so it could be the problem.
