  1. Gaming headset mic not working


    Hi,


    I just bought a gaming headset RAZER KRAKEN X and the mic doesn't work. It says that my microphone isn't plugged in even if it is. Underneath it, it says Line in not plugged and sterio mix disabled. I disabled the sterio mix because it was echoing my window screenheadset audio. And Realtek r audio beneath the titles.



    DETAILED: so my headset came with the headset with a cable that had one jack. It came also with an adapter that had one jack for adapting and two jacks which had the color pink and lite blue. so I plugged the headset cable into the adapter and set the pink-colored cable to the pink jack located on my IO at the back of my pc. Same with the lite blue cable but on the lite blue jack. There was one more jack at the IO which had the color blue on. I didn't do anything with it.


    After plugging in everything, I went to the control panel and pressed on sounds. then I went to recordings and saw that microphone Realtekr audio was not plugged in. line up Realtekr audio not plugged in. and sterio mix plugged in. so I went and pressed properties on the sterio mix and checked on the listen to the audio. I couldn't hear something and the waves didn't turn green but stayed gray. I tried to set the volume up and the sterio mix captured it. so I think that the sterio mix is taking my pc audio. therefore I disabled it.


    I don't know what to do so can someone at least help me as quickly as possible.


    Summary: My headset mic isn't working and I don't know how to fix it. However, my headset audio is working so I can hear but I cant speak.

    :)

    G433 Gaming Headset Mic is not working

    I have no problem with the audio, only with the mic.

    I don't have another headset to check with.

    I am having this issue in all games and applications.

    Headset Mic Not Working

    I really need some help.

    I have a Cloud Stinger HyperX headset.

    So the Microphone was working fine for many months then a few weeks ago it just stopped.

    It does not show up on my list of Recording Devices anymore.

    The only Mic I have is the one built in the computer.

    I have tried multiple solutions and nothing works. Any suggestions?
