  1. Microphone not recognized


    So I've been having issues with my mic being recognized. I have tried using samsung earphones or even headsets that come with mics but the mic never gets recognized. When I found out this was the case, I thought it was a zoom issue but its my pc's. Any idea on how to make it recognize the mic in headsets/ earphones with mic?

    Hi Hassan,

    Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    If a mic connected to this computer isn’t working properly then it’s likely a settings problem.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.


    • Right-click on the speaker icon in the bottom-right part of the screen.

    • Click on ‘Recording Devices‘.

    • A list of recording devices will appear. Try speaking into your microphone, and see if there any
      green bars rising next to one of them while you talk.

    • If you don’t see any green bars skip to step 5.

    • Check if you can recognize which one of the devices in the list is your
      microphone. If you found it, click on it to highlight it, and then click
      Set Default.

    • Check again if you see green bars rising when you talk into the microphone. If you do your mic is now correctly setup. If not, continue to next step.

    • Double-click on the device that represents your microphone. The
      Microphone Properties window will appear. Click the Levels tab.

    • In the levels tab, drag the slider all the way to the right, until the number on the right says “100“.

    • Click OK and check if it helps.
    Hope it helps, reply to us with the status of your issue. We will be happy to assist you.

    Hi,



    I realized your concern and will assist you to resolve the issue.

    I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your device. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel

    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter

    • Run the Recording Audio troubleshooter
    Method 2: Make sure that the Microphone is not disabled and is set as default.

    Make sure that the microphone that you are using is not disabled and is set as default in the computer. Follow these steps to check this:

    a) Right click on the volume icon and select “Recording devices”.

    b) Now, right click on an empty space and select, “Show disconnected devices” and “Show disabled devices”.

    c) Select “Microphone” and click on “Properties” and make sure that the microphone is enabled.

    d) You may also check if the microphone that you are using is set as default.
