  1. Headset's mic no longer recognized on my cpu


    My headset's mic works on other devices but on my cpu it no longer works. It recognizes that I plugged it in but when I test the mic nothing happens as if it can't hear anything.I tried updating the drivers and enabling the mic in the security settings, still nothing.

    Headset microphone not being recognized

    I have used this headset with the laptop before, and I have used both the mic and the headphones with it. However, I just went to use it again after some time, and my laptop doesn't recognize the mic with it. The sound still goes through the headphones,
    and it registers it as such, but there is no option for the mic, the only available input listed is the laptop's built in mic.

    Previously, there would be that "What Device Was Plugged In?" Popup, where you could select whether you had plugged in a headset or headphones. That no longer pops up, and I have failed to find a setting to reenable it, as was suggested when I was looking to
    solve this problem on other question on the subject.

    How can I get my computer to register that there is a microphone associated?

    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.

    Headset mic

    PC Specs will help us help you.

    What is the brand/model of the headset mic combo?

    What front panel audio jack(s) do you have? Some are only mic or only headset, some can be either mic or headset whichever is plugged in and some are combination headset/mic.
