    HyperX Cloud Stinger headset not detecting mic on laptop, only detecting audio


    My HyperX Cloud Stinger headset only has the audio working, and not the mic attached to the headset. My mic defaults to the system mic on my laptop, but I want to use the mic that comes with my headset, which isn't working.The mic is showing up as not plugged in, even though there's only one jack that's already plugged in. I've already checked if the drivers have been installed and they are up to date. I've tried everything except for downloading Realtek Audio Console, which I'm having trouble installing. Here's what's showing on my device manager: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Dq9r_j14a_

    My HyperX Cloud Stinger headset mic (or headset in general) isn't being detected.

    I have been trying to troubleshoot my headset mic for a while now and nothing is working. The main issue is that my laptop (Windows 11) isn't detecting my headset mic, it keeps detecting "Microphone Array" which is the microphone on my laptop not my headset.
    How I know is by doing the following:

    • Pressing Windows+R
    • Typing Control Panel to open up Control Panel
    • Setting "View By' to large icons
    • Pressing the sound category
    • Pressing the Recording tab
    • Right Clicking Microphone Array (my default microphone which is the only microphone being detected)
    • Pressing properties
    • Pressing the Listen tab
    • Checking the "Listen to this device" box and clicking apply
    • Now that I can hear my laptop microphone the reason I actually know it's my laptop microphone and not my headset microphone is whenever I talk into my laptop microphone it pick up my voice whereas if I were to speak into my headset microphone it doesn't pick up my voice.

      Extra details to know is that the audio (such as playing youtube videos) I can still hear through my headset the only thing not being picked up is the microphone. I am on a windows 11 Laptop (Aspire A515-54). Something else to also mention is that my microphone's description it says that it is only compatible with consoles, mobile devices, and mac. I don't think that is necessarily the problem considering many other people have still been able to use the HyperX Cloud Stinger to its fullest potential (microphone and all). Just to specify even further when I go into the playback tab or the recording tab within the sound settings after going to control panel and pressing the sound category my headset won't even show up at all, my microphonenor my headset.HyperX Cloud Stinger CoreHyperX Cloud Stinger CoreHyperX Cloud Stinger CoreHyperX Cloud Stinger Core

    Microphone not detected (HyperX Cloud Stinger)

    I just got the HyperX Cloud stinger headset, but my laptop does not seem to pick up the microphone at all, the weird thing is, the sound in my headphones work just fine, it's just the microphone that's not detected, and I've tried everything to find it.

    I only have one jack in my laptop, for both mic and sound. I checked on my phone and the microphone works. I have uninstalled and reinstalled audio driver and i still do not see an option for my microphone and sound settings.

    I have tried on my phone and i had no problem with my headset

    My laptop model is Acer Aspire A515-51

    and my system type is 64 bit Operating system

    Please help me out
