Windows 10: Help with external mic.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming Laptop with one jack in it and it shows a headset symbol on top with a mic attached to it, I don't know if its a combined jack or not because my mic is not working, I bought new Razer Electra V2 Headset and the headphones are perfect but the external mic is not working, it doesnt show on the recording devices either, please help, I don't know what to do.

USB Mic Problems.


The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Using external mic on the N95

I've just bought an N95 and have been trying to connect an external (Shure) mic with a 3.5mm connection. When I insert it it is detected by the phone, but the only three options are Headphones, TV Out and Music Stand. Whichever I select the phone reverts
to using the internal mic.

I'd like to use it to record sessions with my band, and don't see why this shouldn't be possible - anyone got any suggestions??

Thanks in advance!

Hi Lyall,

For us to properly isolate the issue with your Mic that is automatically set to mute, we would like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
• When did the issue first begin?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

This issue might occur due to a sound card issue. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you try updating your sound card driver to resolve it.

We look forward to your response.
