  1. "Your microphone has stopped working"


    This happens to me perhaps every 15 minutes when I'm in conference calls using hangouts/meet in chrome, or zoom. It happens with both my Bose QC35II and my Sony WF-1000X. Sometimes I can get it going by just reloading the page in chrome. Sometimes I have to restart chrome. It never recovers in Zoom. This happened on both 1903 and now on 1909. I've checked to make sure I have the latest driver.

    Any idea what this might be, and how I could fix it?

  2. Microphone suddenly stopped working

    My microphone is still not working. I even checked the BIOS as someone had suggested but there is no listing for the microphone in there.

    Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

    Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

    It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

    Step by step fix:
    • I went into recording devices
    • I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
    • Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
    • Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't
    Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?
