  1. Front Center sound muted


    So I've had this issue for about 2 weeks now and I don't get it, my left and right sounds are perfectly fine however my front center sound is very muted. This has occurred to me before where I had reinstalled my audio driver provided by my previous question in order to fix it, however that only worked for 1 day before it broke again, even after factory resetting my pc, this issue has come up again after 6 months of no issues. I have looked endlessly online and yet no mention of only the front center sound being muted has ever been brought up. I've tried uninstalling my driver and letting windo

  2. Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset mutes the mic and sound when I raise the mic.

    I have the same issue and the above suggested steps don't allow me to configure the behavior of the headset. Also, the Microsoft Accessory Center has no configuration option for leaving the sound on when the headset is muted.

    Sound won't come back after muting


    Problem:

    Plugging headphones (Sound plays) -> Muting -> Unmuting -> Sound doesn't play anymore

    Fix (No restart required)

    Sound doesn't play -> Mute (with headphones in) -> Unplug headphones ->Unmute (with headphones out) -> Mute (with headphones out) -> Plug headphones -> Unmute (with headphones in).

    This is the shortest pattern I could find. Important to follow step by step. It might not work because I have no idea why it works on my end (without starting conspiracy theories about boolean variables being out of sync on the audio driver, which would be the most embarassing thing ever for whoever wrote these drivers).

    Front Center sound muted

    Muted mic picking up sound in game

    Hi JonPaul,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    The issue could be because of the internal mic picking up sound even when the external device is pluuged in. If you have the RealTek HD Audi Manager installed on the machine, I would suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for
    you.



    • Open RealTek HD Audio Manager and go to the
      Advanced tab.
    • Check the boxes Separate all input jacks as independent input devices
      and Mute the internal output device, when external headphone is plugged in,
      and hit OK.
    • Exit RealTek HD Audio Manager, restart the machine and see if the issue persists.


    Regards,
