Windows 10: Earbuds microphone not working on Windows 11 bluetooth

Hey,I got new Redmi Buds 5 Pro earbuds, and they work great with my mobile phone.I easily connected them to my PC, and can hear fine, but the microphone doesn't seem to be working.I tested this by trying the Sounds Recorder & Windows Input mic test.I already checked the usual suspect, and it seems that everything is configured properly: the earbuds mic is set as default, the volume levels are at 100%, and all apps have permission to use the mic. Also, all the drivers are updated.Any suggestions?Input settings:

:)

 

Bluetooth microphone is not working on Windows 11.

Hello Abhishek

Im Juliet and Im happy to help you

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing issues with your Bluetooth microphone on your Windows 11 device.

I would suggest you also try to Check the microphone settings. Please follow the steps below;

a. Right-click the sound icon on the taskbar and select "Open Sound settings."

b. Under "Input," select your Bluetooth headset as the default microphone.

c. Check the volume levels and make sure the microphone is not muted.

I hope this helps! Let me know what happens

 

Bluetooth earbuds crash programs or microphone doesn't work

I have seen this in several places online, but nothing seems to resolve the issue, so I am posting here to see if anyone has an idea of that is going on.



I have Google Pixel Buds A. They worked fine on an old Surface 2 I was using. I have a new computer at work and they create havoc with audio.

• Dell Precision 5480 Serial
  
• 32.0 GB
  
• 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
  
• Windows 11 Enterprise v23H2
  
• Everything is updated.
  

When starting off with the earbuds in, everything is fine. When I go in a Zoom meeting, everything is fine.



If I take the earbuds out and put them in the case, and then come back later to use them, OR if I put them on after opening an app (like Zoom, Adobe Audition), they will either crash the app or in the case of Zoom, the microphone will not work. The only way to fix this is to go to the task manager, end the task (Zoom, Audition) and restart the computer. Sometimes the computer gets hung up restarting and I have to hold down the power button for 30 seconds to reboot.



I try to disconnect the earbuds from bluetooth, but it just hangs and doesn't disconnect, so I have to wait a long time so I can reconnect them, or just let it be and hope for the best. I even reset the earbuds and reconnected. I have had this laptop for a week and had two meetings where I could not speak because of the microphone issue. And yes, I have toggled all the audio settings in Zoom.



I put in the earbuds just now and went to system > sound > all sound devices > properties and it sees the earbuds as my microphone, but when I test it, it does not hear audio. The audio drivers are updated.



It happens sporadically when disconnecting the headset after being silent for a while, then reconnecting it. It's about 50/50 chance for it to work. (I borrowed this sentence from another post two years ago where no solution was given).

 

Earbuds microphone[Solved]

Hello I have some random earbuds with microphone but they work in phone. When I plug them into pc into mic jack it doesnt work. When I blow straight into microphone it doesnt detect any sound but when I blow into headphone it does. I tried turning volume up, changing all settings. Like all of options and nothing worked. I also tried different earbuds but they didnt work as well. I also tried to plug them into my sisters laptop but neither my nor other earbuds worked... I did not yet tried splitter but I will soon, but I dont know if this would help because built in mic should work when connected to microphone jack slot. When I plug them into headphone slot I they play sounds but I cant set mic to work. Any solutions ?
