    Check Your Hardware: Make sure the microphone isn't obstructed by anything and you can hear audio coming through it clearly withou any static noise. If the problem persists, try unplugging and re-plugging your microphone into the correct port on your Chromebook.

     

    Disconnect Bluetooth headphones: If you have Bluetooth headphones connected to your Chromebook, try disconnecting them and see if the microphone works.

     

    Use an app for testing: You can use a voice recording app of web browser applications like Mictester.org to test if your Chromebook's microphone is working properly. Just open the app, speak into the mic, and play it back to see if the sound is being recorded and amplified correctly.

     

    Disable any extension: If you have any extensions installed, try disabling them and see if it makes a difference. Some extensions can interfere with the microphone's functionality and need to be disabled for it to work properly.
