PIPO X8 Microphone issue

[bvik]

Hello,

I have the PIPO X8 and using the Windows 8 boot. But I am not able to get the microphone to work. I believe that its specs suggest that it has both internal speakers and microphone.
A microphone device is detected in Windows Manager as "Intel SST Audio Device", but it stays silent and does not record anything.

I have tried to use the Intel Driver Update tool, and even the BIOS firmware update that was posted here previously, but to no avail.
Anyone experienced the same issue?

regards
bjarke

I am having the same issue. Microphone not working in Windows 8.1/10 and Android 4.4. The company I bought it from (Gearbest) is saying it has an internal microphone and that it should work. Not sure what to do next.

I emailed Pipo and they said that the device didn't support audio input, there was no mic as well as no input hole, so basically you can't record device. I'm wondering if a USB headphone with microphone can work with the device. Anyone that has tried this out please let us know the result.

I'm using a smal USB DAC with the following cable and using my phone headphone with mic.

So can you record? I predict you can't because the headphone jack hole wouldn't receive input signal as the people from Pipo replied to my email, right? What I mean is something like this:

Do you have one? Test out and give us the result

My cable is pluged into a USB DAC then in an USB port of the PIPO, so everything works.

Does this setup work in Android or just in Windows?
