Copilot App on Windows 11 does not recognise Mic

Welcome Andrew Holmes,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum. I am sorry to hear about your issue where the Copilot app in Windows 11 does not recognize your microphone. 

You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue: 

Option 1: Check App Permission 

• Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone and make sure that the toggle for the Copilot app is turned on. 

Option 2: Repair and Reset the App 

• Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Copilot app, click the three dots and select Advanced options, scroll down and choose Repair (If the issue still persists, select Reset). 

Option 3: Update Driver 

• Go to Device Manager > Audio inputs and outputs.  Right-click your microphone (such as Realtek Audio), select Update driver > Search automatically for drivers.  Restart your PC after completing the update. 

Option 4: Uninstall and Reinstall the Copilot App 

• Update the Copilot app from the Microsoft Store and restart your PC to apply any microphone-related patches.
