Windows 10: Is it possible to use only the microphone on my headset?

I'm not very tech savvy but i'd like to figure out if i can use ONLY the microphone on my headset, I'd like the audio to still come out of my laptop. My laptops built in microphone doesn't work very well. I could just wear the headset but it hurts my head after awhile.I've tried going into sound settings and messing with the input and output but i can't figure it out.I use "msi gf65 thin 9sd" laptop and my headset is "LVLUP pro gaming headset with foldable mic"Thank you!

Headsets microphone not working

Hi,





To better assist you, we would like to ask some questions for clarification to know the best possible resolution to offer.

• Were you able to use the microphone of your headset before on your computer?
• If yes, can you try if the microphone of the headset would work on a different computer?
• Does the port for the jack on your computer is capable of supporting microphone?

We look forward to your

 

Computer won't recognize headset microphone

This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

Thank you for the feedback. Since you have tried all the troubleshooting steps in the article, it's possible that the issue lies with the hardware or it's driver. To assist you further, please provide the following information:

• Have you tried the headset on a different Windows 10 computer?
• Have you tried connecting a different headset on your PC?

We suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your PC to check the headset jack for issues. Also try to reach out to the manufacturer of your headset to
check if they have a new driver for the recent Windows 10 updates.
