Realtek Audio Driver Microphone Problems

Try disconnecting and reconnecting the microphone. See if a popup appears asking which device you have connected.

If it persists:

Usually, the Realtek audio driver comes with the Realtek Audio Manager or Realtek Audio Console, which is hidden in the system tray, but maybe it can also be opened from the Control Panel.

Open the Realtek Audio Manager/Console and look for your computer's connector settings. With the microphone connected, click on the connector for the microphone and specify that you have a microphone connected.

thanks for your help

however when i tried all the ways you listed my microphone still not working :<

My laptop has two separate 3.5 jacks for speaker + microphone. However, the speaker jack can still operate the microphone if the headset has a built-in microphone (this is confirmed because I bought a used laptop)

i don't know since when i've had this problem, because i usually use type-c port headphones, and it works fine. I recently switched to 3.5mm type headphones

about my laptop having nahimic. i tried uninstall nahimic. then select input using realtek(R) audio microphone. however the microphone still doesn't work, so the problem I'm having is definitely not nahimic related

Driver update shows the driver name (realtek high definition audio). but when restarting the laptop, the driver still shows the name realtek (r) audio.

Is that really normal?
