  1. Headset microphone keeps not working.


    Everytime I shut down or restart my computer the mic on my headset stops working until I unplug and plug it back in again. The headset works normally as headphones, I can still hear normally. I have a HyperX Cloud Stinger. Is there anyway to fix this so it doesn't break every time is restart my PC? (This only happens on Windows 10, it works normally on my phone).

    Apple Headset/Microphone not working

    Windows 10, have 3 Apple headsets. I can hear audio just fine but the microphone isn't recognized at all. I tried this on multiple laptops and while the audio is fine, I cannot get the microphones to work. It's the Apple wired earbuds. Windows isn't even recognizing that the microphone is there, it keeps defaulting to Realtek microphone on the laptop. I can't find drivers for this headset. I even spent three hours with Apple trying to troubleshoot and they FedEx'd me three brand new headsets. Well seems the issue persists even on the three new items. Any ideas. Even my IT guys at work can't figure out how to fix it.

  3. Headsets microphone not working

    Hi,





    To better assist you, we would like to ask some questions for clarification to know the best possible resolution to offer.

    • Were you able to use the microphone of your headset before on your computer?
    • If yes, can you try if the microphone of the headset would work on a different computer?
    • Does the port for the jack on your computer is capable of supporting microphone?


    We look forward to your

    Hi

    I'm Jen, a fellow user and an Independent Advisor.

    Here's what you can try:

    1. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone

    2. Click the Change button, then make sure Microphone for this device is turned on.

    3. Make sure Allow apps to access your microphone is turned on.

    If you still continue to have the same problem after doing the troubleshooting steps, then proceed to the steps below:

    1. Navigate to Control Panel > Sound

    2. Select the Recording tab, then right click on any empty place inside the device list and tick Show Disabled Devices.

    3. Right click the Headset Microphone and click Enable.

    4. Right click it again and select Set as Default Device.

    5. Right click Headset Microphone and click Properties.

    6. Click the Levels tab, then drag the volume slider towards the largest value.

    7. Click OK

    Hopefully this resolves your issue.
