  1. Computer audio gets worse when microphone is used


    When i open a application like Discord or any thing that uses microphone the audio of other app get worse, it seems that when I open the application that is using the microphone, the audio of the same is privileged, while the audio of applications like spotify, or the same youtube in the browser, is worse, leaving the sound of the application with the microphone much better.It happens with bluetooth audio devices and wired headphones.

    Unable to use Microphone on the computer

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to use Microphone on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with this issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • Were you able to use Microphone on your computer earlier?
    • What is the make and model of the Microphone that you are using?


    Ideally, if we add a new Microphone to the computer, we will need to go through the setup process to use it, let me help you with the steps. I would suggest you to refer the article on
    How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10 and setup
    the Microphone. Once the Microphone is setup, you can start using it.



    If you still face issues, I would suggest you to refer the article on

    and see if that helps.



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.
