G433 Gaming Headset Mic is not working

I have no problem with the audio, only with the mic.

I don't have another headset to check with.

I am having this issue in all games and applications.

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Gaming Headset Microphone not working

I had the exact same issue, trying everything that YouTube and various forums online had recommended. Nothing worked. The biggest issue is most content covers every other Bose headset except the gaming version of the Quiet Comfort 35 II. They don't know that with this specific device, you can't use your mic on PC with bluetooth. The mic is can only be connected into your PC with the Bose "PC Desktop Controller" (in conjunction with your headset). So what JaspreetSingh08 recommended isn't going to help you at all.

What finally worked for me was this:

- First: Locate in the bottom right corner of your computer screen your sound volume.

- Second: Right click it.

- Third: You should see several options, one option states: "Spatial Sound" in the verbage. Click that.

- Fourth: Ensure you select the option: "Windows Sonic for Headphones".

After that, I tested my microphone and everything worked perfectly.

If it still doesn't work for you, do not change those settings.

You may have to restart your computer, then try again, ensuring the settings have remained on "Windows Sonic for Headphones".

If it still doesn't work, this YouTube video is what set me on the right track to begin with. He has several troubleshooting steps to follow and I believe it contributed to getting my headset working.

I hope this helps, I know how frustrating it can be.
