    Having to unplug microphone to hear playback.

    Hi Mark,

    There are several audio inputs on your PC depending on your motherboard. It is possible that you are plugging your
    microphone in the jack which supports audio in and audio out (same as phone jacks) and is set as your playback device. When this happens, you will not hear the audio out because the audio signal is sent into the microphone. Simply unplug your
    microphone and move it to the microphone jack and you will be able to hear the playback sound.

    If you are sure that your microphone is connected to the microphone jack, it is possible that your playback device is being disabled by your microphone. To enable/change your playback device, kindly follow these steps:

    • Right-click the Volume icon on the lower-left corner of your screen.
    • Click Playback devices, right-click your speaker (or any preferred playback device), and click Enable.

      Note: If you cannot see your preferred playback device, right-click on your current playback device and click
      Show Disabled Devices.

    Let us know how things go.

    Regards.

  3. Microphone playback delay

    Hi, I just bought a new USB microphone for my windows 10 PC. It works fine, however, I'd like to listen to myself while I record. I've followed all the steps to listen to the microphone, but there's a pretty noticeable delay in the audio. How do I fix
    the delay? There's also no "levels" for the device I'm listening to it on. ( Gaming Headset)

    How to listen to Microphone through a Playback Device on Windows 10

    'Listen to device' not changing to default playback device

    I have just done a windows update from Windows 10 1803 to 1909 and my audio input which should playback through the default playback device no longer automatically adapts to a change in default playback device. For example if I change the default playback device from Speakers to Headset, the input still plays through Speakers, until I manually go to the settings and Uncheck/recheck listen to this device, or disable/re-enable the input device, then it will play through the headset.

    Is there any way to make the "Listen to this device" option always playback through the default playback device, or any way I could programmatically disable/re-enable the audio input so that it would start playing through the correct playback device?

    (Picture shows the settings on the Listen tab for my audio input)
