Windows 10: I'm having issues with my mic input on my pc.

This is a problem that started randomly. when i connect my headphones to my pc, the audio sounds muffled and distorted. I've tried fixing it myself but couldn't. its not a problem I've faced on my pc before. at first i thought it was my headphone mic that had an issue but tried other headphone mics and faced the same issue. plus when i tested the headphones on other devices the mic sounded just fine.

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Muted mic picking up sound in game

Hi JonPaul,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The issue could be because of the internal mic picking up sound even when the external device is pluuged in. If you have the RealTek HD Audi Manager installed on the machine, I would suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works for
you.

• Open RealTek HD Audio Manager and go to the
  Advanced tab.
  
• Check the boxes Separate all input jacks as independent input devices
  and Mute the internal output device, when external headphone is plugged in,
  and hit OK.
  
• Exit RealTek HD Audio Manager, restart the machine and see if the issue persists.
  

Regards,
