    Unable to use Microphone

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you want to use the Microphone of the Headset to talk to people. It would be great if you can help us with the details requested below:



    • What happens when you try to use the Microphone?
    • What is the make and model of the headphone?
    • What is the make and model of the computer?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    However, let me help you with the steps to setup the Microphone. I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10
    .



    You can also try making the Microphone as the default device. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + R, to open
      Run
      dialog box.
    2. Type mmsys.cpl and click on
      OK
      .
    3. Now, click on Recordings tab.
    4. Now, right click on the Microphone and select
      Set as Default device. Do the same in Playback and
      Recording tab.
    5. Click on OK, and check if the Microphone is working.


    For additional information, see

    .



    Let us know how it goes.

    Host Process for Windows Services uses my microphone all the time

    Hello vilaugra, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

    I understand that the Windows Host Process uses your Microphone constantly;

    Initially I suggest that you check if the option "Listen to my device" is activated;

    Open the control panel and click on Hardware and Sound;

    Click on Sound;

    Click on the Recording tab;

    Select your Default Microphone and click Properties;

    Click the Listen tab;

    Disable the option "Listen to this device";

    Click Apply;

    Restart your PC and check if the Windows Host Process still uses your microphone;

    Hope this helps, see you soon!

    Unable to use Microphone on the computer

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to use Microphone on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with this issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • Were you able to use Microphone on your computer earlier?
    • What is the make and model of the Microphone that you are using?


    Ideally, if we add a new Microphone to the computer, we will need to go through the setup process to use it, let me help you with the steps. I would suggest you to refer the article on
    How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10 and setup
    the Microphone. Once the Microphone is setup, you can start using it.



    If you still face issues, I would suggest you to refer the article on
    Fix microphone problems
    and see if that helps.



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,
