[HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, IDT 92HD71B7X, Black Mic, Internal] Background noise or low volume

[Fo2adZz]

When using the internal microphone, it mutes by itself every couple of minutes ( I have to move the microphone volume slider for it to work again), and if I am recording or speaking to anyone there is a lot of noise and echo in the background, if i use headphones the noise and echo are reduced
