  1. All mic recordings are blunted


    I have two microphones. The PC mic and a headset mic.

    Regardless of which one I used while recording, the sound cuts up and down. For example if I talk in my regular voice and slowly ascend up in octaves, the transmission output will jump from normal voice to high pitch, rather than a slow escalation from one to the other.

    Also, when I look at the Windows 10 mic settings, the mic bar barely budges above avout 7%.

    I've made sure all drivers are up to date, I've restarted a few times, made sure the recording settings were maxed out and now for the life of me can't imagine what the source of the problem could be.

    Windows 10 has USB mic grayed out in sound/recording

    I have Samson C01U USB microphone. This mic worked perfectly with Windows 8.1. Upgraded to Windows 10 and I now have issues. Device Manager says the device is working properly. The Sound/Recording tab say the mic is ready, yet it is grayed out in the recording
    device list. Another USB mic (integrated with Webcam) works fine. Comments, suggestions, advice? Better yet, solution?

  3. Windows Phone Camera App: Recording Video with headset microphone instead of internal mic

    Hello,

    The phone only uses the built-in mic when recording videos on the Camera app. If you want to use an external mic when recording videos, it is best that you send this suggestion through Feedback Hub so our developers can work on it. To send a feedback on
    your phone, you can follow the steps below:

    1. Go to All apps, search for the Feedback
      Hub app.
    2. Open the Menu icon at the top left side.
    3. Select Feedback, then tap the Add button
      (+) at the top right side.
    4. Select Suggestion and provide the details needed in the box.
    5. Select the right category and then submit.

    Let us know if you have any concerns.

    All mic recordings are blunted

    USB Mic Problems.

    The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.
