Laptop Sound Not Working Windows 8

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this item 6 months ago it working so well with my windows laptop and lab instrument to transfer data. I love the size, it's so small and light.

Bought this monitor to hook up to my laptop that I use for both gaming and work. With the 27inch monitor I'm able to pull up two windows while working and still see what I am working on. With the 144hz my monitor can keep pace with the output of my laptops gpu. Overall I am happy with purchase.

Just plugged it in to my windows 10 laptop and It worked seamlessly with Skype. Great sound and video quality!

I bought these for our company to do at home recorded videos on their laptops with better audio quality than the built in laptop microphone. I just tested it and compared it to the laptop mic and there is a very noticeable increase in quality when using the usb lav. At first it was way too over modulated but then I realized I needed to tweak the mic settings in windows 10. First, plug it in and let it download the drivers automatically. Then, type the word sound in the windows 10 search bar and click sound settings. In there, go to the microphone area and make sure the usb lav is the active one selected. Once it is, click on device properties and in that menu adjust the volume slider until you have a proper microphone level that isn't topping out too much to the right on the sound level bar. I put mine around 40-50 but it depends on how close the mic is to you mouth.

windows users really need one like that. Easy to use but I had no chance yet to see it working.

8 x Splitter works as described. Great unit.

I love my laptop, its fast and works great. My desktop is Windows 7 pro and this comes with windows 8.1 home. I just need to upgrade it to pro and I'm good to go.

Check with linux and windows, in both working fine

it is working fine as an upgrade for an relatively old laptop.

This is essential when I'm working offsite on any laptop.
