    Hi, I recently bought some wireless headphones that have an attached microphone, but I can't find it anywhere in the input devices. I have factory reset my headphones and restarted my computer multiple times, and still can't find it. They appear as headphones with no mic in the sound settings which is also wrong.Please helpThanks

    :)

    Headset's Mic not working when connected to AUX?

    Hello,

    I have a JBL Live 500BT headset and the microphone works flawlessly when the headset is connected over bluetooth.

    However, when connecting the headset through AUX with the 3.5mm jack, and confirming it's a headset when asked by Realtek, only the headphones work and Windows claims there is no sound input device.

    It's not even working if i connect the headset to the PC's a microphone jack and set the device as a microphone device.

    The AUX cable does have a secondary microphone but that one only works when the headset is connected to a phone.

    Is it normal that a bluetooth headset's built-in microphone does not work when the AUX cable is used?

  3. External microphone not showing in the Recording tab

    My Windows 10 laptop is not recognizing any external microphones. I have two headsets: a Bluetooth one and one for an audio jack. Both headsets work correctly on other devices. When I connect the headsets to my computer, I can hear audio, but the microphones
    do not work.

    Here are the steps I've taken so far:

    • Updated drivers (they were already up to date)
    • From Sound Settings, headsets do not appear as options for the input device
    • Ran the microphone troubleshooter - headsets do not appear as options
    • From Control Panel > Sound > Recording, headsets do not appear as options. I have selected the disabled and disconnected devices options.
    • From Microphone Privacy, all apps have access to the microphone.
    That's everything I found online to fix this problem. Any suggestions?

    Zoom Audio not playing when connected to bluetooth transmitter

    Bluetooth headsets have two modes because Bluetooth 4.x does not have enough bandwidth for both stereo speakers and a microphone at the same time.
    • Hands-Free = Mono speakers + microphone
    • Stereo = Stereo speakers + no microphone
    Bluetooth headphones only need one mode because they don't have a microphone.
    • Stereo = Stereo speakers
    Airfly Pro is only designed to be used for stereo headphones or stereo speakers

    I assume you are plugging the 3.5mm plug for the Airfly Pro into the input for the speakers
    You then connect the laptop to the Airfly Pro using Bluetooth
    For speakers in Zoom select Bluetooth Stereo
    For microphone you select some microphone such as the one built into the laptop

    The limitation of this setup is that you will only hear one side of the call on the speakers. What you say into the microphone won't be heard at all on the speakers. Another problem is that Bluetooth only has a maximum range of about 30 feet.
