I've tried with two other laptops and neither worked either. The equipment is working fine, it's brand new, it's just no computer wants to let us use the mics. It connects and registers as a microphone/speaker but I can't get any software to register it instead of the built in mic even when I have it disabled.
Ok in English you have audio mixer device, (semi pro like)
and you want to connect it to a PC , at the mic jack
well this is wrong, the mic jack is High GAIN amp input for a real microphone that has super tiny signals.
if you take any pro grade gear with Line outs signals 100mv to 300mv , this huge signal will overload the living snarf out of that poor little mic amp, (called in electronics saturation and noise clipping , or overloaded) It takes very nice sinusoid waveform out and makes it a nasty square wave , and sounds like H3LL,
but gee ok for HEAVY METAL no? (purposeful distortion)
the big trouble is the Pav 15. (but what is it really that name is no good, PAV come in laptops and desk tops)
LET ME GUESS, a laptop that has no jack called LINE IN.
as most don't have and most desktops do. see?
the cure is 2 fold (ways)
use a desktop the pink jack mic is wrong
the correct jack is blue. a jack you don't have right? I cant see your pC or would go gee that will never work at all.
as seen here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_card
or cure 2 or 3:
buy a sound dongle for that laptop USB dongle that has the blue jack called LINE input.
or cure 3.
buy a line out to mic input , line transformer, a step down transformer does this, but will be hard to find them that works perfectly and the sound quality is near PA grade (crappola)
hp made 189 pavilion laptops models some or most have no blue jack nor am I going to read 189 users manuals to find out sorry

next time post the full service tag data on the PAV 15.
the typical LT, as only 2 jacks (weak)
1 head phones, line out.
2: mic
and no line in on LT but most desktops have it. on the card or on the main board.(not all but most) and can be added in minutes.
then when connected up use windows to enter the MIX in the PC.
enable LINE input, and set the volume on that line in mixer knob.
bingo clear sounds. Line out to line in, works.
SOURCE: Acer aspire 4720z Built-in microphone only records loud static
Based on sybabe solution,That leaves me with :
1-The built in Mic element has gone bad or
2- The contacts in 3.5 mm internal jack port are not fully closed when an external mic is not present.
Hope thats helps...

SOURCE: requesting hp pavilion dv1000 audio drivers
I have had this problem for a while, and I solved it by learning exactly how to search the HP driver listings correctly. The issue stems from the fact that searching for "HP Pavilion dv1000" is not as specific as you might think...
Step one:
Go Here
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&dest_page=product&docname=c00033108&product=18073
Find the *EXACT* model number of your laptop. For instance, it turns out my "HP Pavilion dv1000" is actually a "dv1657cl." Alternately, you can take down the Product Number (or p/n).
Step two:
Go Here
http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html
I am sure we are all familiar with this page, but you will find that it is a little more helpful now that we are armed with the knowledge that it requires. Search on this page with your model number or p/n and you should find the correct drivers (for audio as well as other devices) easily.
For example, I finally found this page for my "dv1657cl."

Good luck, everyone!

double click on the sound icon in sys tray to access properties and disable from there or just turn the slider all the way down

I had exactly the same problem with XENYX 1002FX but the warranty covers this, I had my unit replaced with a new one which does not have the fault.
