The lenovo 3000 Y410 is part of their budget range and lenovo decided not to officially support Windows 7 for the hardware. However we have one that we use in the kitchen which we have been able to successfully upgraded to the far superior Windows 7 operating system.
In order to get the sound card working I tested the Windows XP and Windows Vista drivers.
As it turns out the Windows Vista driver supplied by lenovo worked fine for me.
Therefore to fix your problem, download and install the Windows Vista soundcard driver for your laptop which can be found here-
The only real solution is to go to the manufacturers web site and download the Vista Drivers for your sound card. I have had this problem before and sometimes your stuck with accepting that you have most of the functions because they don't make a fully compatible driver for Vista.
checklist:
1. sound driver
2. microphone settings in volume control applet
3. tap test (tap the area around the microphone and see if eg Sound Recorder picks it up)
4. external microphone
If you get to step 4 before you get anything then your problem is one of missing or damaged microphone.
