high definition audio device not plugged in

This model does not have a built-in microphone.
It has a input jack for a microphone and headphones.

the mic is above the keyboard and yes it is built in

Go into Start/ Control Panel/ Sound and Audio devices/ then click the "Voice" tab. That settings area above should help you, but if it doesn't, try Start/Help & Support & enter "microphone" & find "Troubleshooting". If that doesn't help, come back & tell us exactly what you tried so we can help more, if possible. Did your PC come with a manual? Manuals are great. :) Let us know how it goes, ok? :)
