  1. Headphones microphone is not being used.


    I had selected for my computer to "not ask again" by accident to not use the microphone and I want for my computer to have the option of using the headphones microphone. I don't see it pop up when I plug it in anymore and I have looked up various ways to undo this but only to be disappointed. I have windows 10 and the headphones are Turtle Beach XOFOUR's.

    Headphone with built in microphone uses as Microphone, not Headphone


    Okay, so I have an Asus laptop with Windows 10. I am using an Ultimate Ears Headphone with built in microphone. The problem is that i want to use the headphone part, but all the the laptop registers is the microphone.

    Unable to use Microphone

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to use the Microphone of the Headset to talk to people. It would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:



    • What happens when you try to use the Microphone?
    • What is the make and model of the headphone?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    However, let me help you with the steps to setup the Microphone. I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10
    .



    You can also try making the Microphone as the default device. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type mmsys.cpl and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Now, click on Recordings tab.
    4. Now, right click on the Microphone and select
      Set as Default device. Do the same in Playback and
      Recording tab.
    5. Click on OK, and check if the Microphone is working.


    For additional information, see
    Fix microphone problems
    .



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Headphones microphone is not being used.

    Headphones, microphone issue.

    The device is the default and I have updated the drivers. They say they are up to date. I'll answer your questions below.

    • Are you getting any error message?
      • No error messages.
    • When did the issue start? It started last month sometime.
      • It goes in and out of doing what I want it to.
    • Were there any recent changes made prior to the issue?
      • No changes were made.
    • Have you tried using a different headphone to isolate the issue?
      • Yes.
    • What troubleshooting steps have you d so far?
      • I have tried updating drivers, setting defaults, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, changing headphones, turning off the microphone, changing the settings in Realtek Manager.

    I've tried a lot of stuff without any luck. I'm not sure what the issue is.
