    Headset Mic doesn't even display a microphone input device in my laptop, yet I have 3 others?


    When I try to talk to my friends using my headset's Razer Kraken X mic, it's not working. It doesn't even pop up as an input device, while on my PS5 and Xbox Series S, it works just fine. I even tested every single one, with one of these even being some microphone coming from my laptop! I'm not even directly using it, as it's actually connected to a monitor, with a mouse and keyboard, all above it while it's held inside my desk. Is there a way to fix this? Also, I tried to upload a screenshot of the mic inputs, but since it seems to not have inserted it, I'll describe it. There are 3 inputs

    :)

    This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

    Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

    Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

    I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

    • In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
    • In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
    • In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab
    So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?
