    Headset not working


    I've been having this problem saying I don't have a mic plugged in, but I hear sound, its just whenever I go on a call with my friends they say they cant hear me. Yes I am using a headset. I've tried Windows + X and doing all that. I was wondering if I needed to buy a sepret mic. Does anyone have any tips for me to try?

    :)

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Headset not working :p

    • Do your headset works on other devices?

    Headset microphone not working in windows 10

    Thank you for the feedback. Since you have tried all the troubleshooting steps in the article, it's possible that the issue lies with the hardware or it's driver. To assist you further, please provide the following information:

    • Have you tried the headset on a different Windows 10 computer?
    • Have you tried connecting a different headset on your PC?

    We suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your PC to check the headset jack for issues. Also try to reach out to the manufacturer of your headset to
    check if they have a new driver for the recent Windows 10 updates.

    Keep us posted.
