Windows 10: Mic detected but doesn't record sound.

Recently I decided to use my headset for recording purposes. I haven't used it in over 9 months until now. Everything connects and works normally except for the mic. It detects when the mic is plugged in, but doesn't record any audio. Please don't give me stereo typical "Mic not working" answers. Heres a list of things I've tried that have not worked.


1. Changed slots on my pc to see if any others would work. failed

2. Ran the speech recognition, and microphone setup. failed

3. Checked to see if anything was muted in the mic properties. failed

4. Tried using several availiable configs on the "change sound" board. failed

5. Went to privacy settings and made sure everything was enabled failed

6. Updated, Uninstalled, and changed driver versions failed

7. Ran the windows audio trouble shoot failed

8. Checked for windows updates/driver updates failed


Those are some of the things I've tested that haven't worked. Looked at nearly every video covering how to fix a mic that is not detecting sound and none worked. I would appreciate if anyone could give me any assistance in getting my mic working again.

Microphone detecting sound but mic isn't actually recording

I got an issue regarding the mic on my computer(windows 10) when I go to, sound->recording i do see the green bars if I talk however no sound is actually being recorded. I use a headset and the mic is called Realtek high defenition audio on sound->recording.

What i have tried so far:

1. go to device manager->audio inputs and outputs->microphone (1. look for updates 2. disable and enable 3. uninstall the microphone(Realtek high definition audio) then go to action on device manager and scan for hardware changes, mic does come back on device
manager but still doesn't work)

2. tried to plug the mic at the back of the computer instead of the front (don't know the technical terms)

3.maybe obvious but to clarify I also already went to sound->recording->microphone and tried to "set up" microphone, when I talk it simply doesnt detect me speaking (whilst the green bars in sound->recording microphone do go up.

4. confirmed my mic isn't muted via sound->recording->mic->properties->levels

5. went to sound->recording and show disabled/disconnected devices only "Line In" pop up and "stereomix", no other mic option

6. I have already tried different settings via sound->recording->mic->enhacement also tried all different advanced options.

7.checked to see if any windows updates came out that might have caused the change, and that also isn't the case as my mic worked fine after the most recent update but only recently stopped with working

At this point i don't know what else i can do so any suggestions are welcome if you need more details regarding my computer, just ask as I am not fully aware what information i have to give.

 

Windows 10 has USB mic grayed out in sound/recording

I have Samson C01U USB microphone. This mic worked perfectly with Windows 8.1. Upgraded to Windows 10 and I now have issues. Device Manager says the device is working properly. The Sound/Recording tab say the mic is ready, yet it is grayed out in the recording
device list. Another USB mic (integrated with Webcam) works fine. Comments, suggestions, advice? Better yet, solution?

 

Recording Mic Not Detected


So, I'm having a problem, and I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I can hope one of you might be able to help. I'm a newbie to this kind of stuff, most of the time I've figured things out by random trial and error. The problem I'm having is that my microphone is not being detected by Windows, it doesn't show up at all. I've tried a variety of things, but if you think you have a solution, assume I haven't tried it. If you can, I would like details and step by step stuff, I'm not great at improv direction. I'm a streamer and Youtuber, and the mic and interface was chosen because it's the the popular choice among other streamers.

Details of my setup:
Mic: AT 2035
Interface: Line 6 UX2
PC: Custom
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Motherboard: Crossfire V Formula Z
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.01 GHz
Ram: 16.0 GB
GPU: GTX 1080 Founder Edition
Recording Software: OBS

Picture 1: Current configuration of Pod Farm 2
Version: 2.59
Details:
As seen, all three items in the configuration are turned on.Input is set to mic 1, and as seen from the levels the mic is working and the software is registering audio.

Picture 2: Pod Farm License Manager
Details: As seen, both my computer and the UX2 Interface are authorized.Something I see, there are add-on's in UX2 but not on my pc, not sure if that is significant.

Picture 3: Playback and Recording
Details:
"Speakers 3 - Line 6 UX2" from the UX2 obviously.
"NVIDIA HDMI Output (Port 1 - 3)" Are my monitors.
"SONY TV - 4" Another of my monitors.
"AT Headphones" My headphones.
"Realtek Digital Output (1 - 2)" Not sure, but from the disc that came with my motherboard.
"Digital Audio Interface 3 - Line 6 UX2" from the UX2 obviously.
"Microphone" This is not the AT 2035. I'm unsure what it is, but when listening to audio its just the same droning noise. Might be an audio jack on the computer itself.
"Line In" No clue on this.
"Stereo Mix" Not sure what this does, but it is also from the disc that came with the motherboard.

That's everything that I can think to include. If you need more information in order to help I will do my best to answer. So, if you might know of a solution, please do say.
