Windows 10: HyperX Cloud Stinger Microphone Not Showing Up In My Sound Tab

Hello, I recently got the HyperX Cloud Stinger and the microphone doesn't seem to work on it. I looked it up and realized that it could be because I didn't enable it in the sound settings so I looked and I only saw my Realtek microphone. The pictures I saw all have 2 microphones to choose from and the second one isn't a Realtek microphone. How would I get it to show up in the sound tab? I already have show disabled devices and disconnected devices on but it just doesn't show up. Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to reinstall my Realtek drivers or get other drivers? I already tried updating my Realtek drivers too but it said it's already at the latest update. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

HyperX Cloud Stinger Mic Is Not Working

Hi there! I am Louie, a Microsoft Community member and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. Hope you're doing well and safe there.

You try this options to fix the issue:

Fix #01: Check your connections

The first and the most simple cure to your problem is to check your connections. Many times the connection is loose or the microphone is not plugged in properly which leads to mic failure. Check and fix the loose or hanging microphone connected to your device
to solve the issue in no time.

Fix #02: Enable audio devices

Your HyperX Cloud Stinger mic may not be working because your audio devices are disbaled. You can enable them from audio settings on your device. Simply go to your audio settings and enable the mic and speakers from there. Make sure they are not muted or the
volume is not too low, which might make you think that the mic or speaker is not working.

Fix #03: Set HyperX Cloud Stinger mic as the default device

Maybe your HyperX Cloud Stinger mic is disabled or not set as the default device on your computer. You can easily re-enable it and set it as the default device as follows:

-Press Win+R key to bring up the Run dialog, then type “control” and press Enter.

-In Control Panel, select Large icons from the View by drop down menu in the top right corner.

-Click on Sound.

-Click the Recording tab, then right-click on any empty place inside the device list and select Show Disabled Devices.

-Right-click the Headset Microphone and select Enable. Then right-click it again and select Set as Default Device.

Fix #04: Update your headset driver

The mic on your HyperX Cloud Stinger headset won’t work if you are using wrong or outdated driver. So you should update the driver to see if that’s a problem for you. Follow these steps to do this:

-Open the Sound window following the first three steps from the above Fix #03.

-Go to the Playback tab, right-click on your headphones and select Properties.

-Click on the Properties button in the Controller Information section.

-Then click Change Settings.

-Click the Driver tab and select Update Driver.

-Let the Windows Search automatically for updated driver software.

Once you’ve updated the driver for your HyperX Cloud Stinger headset, restart your computer. Then check to see if the microphone is working.

Fix #05: Reset/reinstall Windows

If the issue persists, chances are your operating system has corrupted files or configurations that are preventing your headphone’s mic from working properly. You can reset or reinstall Windows to solve this problem. Remember to back up your computer first
to help avoid any data loss.

Once the Windows is reinstalled on your PC, reinstall your headset and see if it fixes the problem for you.

In case the mic on your HyperX Cloud Stinger headset still isn’t working, it’s probably a hardware issue.

Hope this information helps

Sincerely,

Louie

 

HyperX Cloud Stinger Mic Is Not Working

Hello, I have recently bought a HyperX Cloud Stinger gaming headset and when i try to talk it doesn't pick up my voice. When I try to talk using discord it says that it doesn't detect an input device even though I plugged the cable to my microphone port.
When I go to the sound tab then go to recording it it shows that I have my microphone as my default device and it shows that my line in is not plugged in though i have both ports plugged in. Is there any way to fix the line and is that the reason my microphone
won't work? My audio works fine it's just the mic that doesn't get picked up as an input device.

 

Microphone not detected (HyperX Cloud Stinger)

So from what it looks like, no one seems to have the same problem as me. 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, so I can't use the splitter that came with the headset, but the headset should function fine without it, and it worked on my ps4 with the mic, just not on my laptop.

I have tried EVERYTHING, believe me. From going into sound showing disabled devices, (where no, it does not pop up) To trying to update my drivers (Nothing to update) And uninstalling, and installing it again.

I have no idea why it won't register the mic at all, and I don't know if it's because I need to use to splitter for it to work. It's just weird since the mic, and headphones work with just the one jack when connecting to my ps4.

Thank you for your help.
