  1. Mic is on input while output is headphones


    So, I use an Xbox controller with a cord to my pc, and for a while the headset that had work perfectly and then one day I tried to talk, and it was using audio from inside of the pc. I've been trying to reset my pc and use different controllers, and it still doesn't work any help?

  3. My headphones will not act as an input and output device

    Hi, I have a Astro Gaming A10 headset. My headset has a mic and I'm able to both speak and listen when i use it on Xbox. However when i plug it into my Windows 11 PC it will only detect as an input, allowing me only to speak, or as an output, allowing me only to hear. When i look at the sound settings it will only show the headphones as input or output and will not appear if i click on the opposite setting. These are the microphone specs

    • Microphone: 0.24 in (6 mm) uni-directional microphone
    • Ear coupling: Over-Ear
    • Connection: 0.14 in (3.5 mm) 5 Pole Jack
    • Drivers: 1.30 in (33 mm) Neodynamic
    I made sure to check if my computer was updated and that the headphones are not physically broken. Essentially i can only have input or output on the headphones.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  4. Mic is on input while output is headphones

    when i connect my cosmic byte headphone which has 3.5mm input output jack it shows the headphone in output but doesn't show the headphone in input section

    I have acer nitro 5 laptop , when i connect my cosmic byte headphone which has 3.5mm input output jack it shows the headphone in output but doesn't show the headphone in input section earlier it used to show the headphone in both input and output section. I checked the headphone on other devices too, its working fine both mic and speakers. when i connect the bluetooth headphone then it shows the headphone in both output and input but when i connect through wired headphone through audio jack then it doesnt work. I reinstalled the whole windows 11 also reinstalled all the drivers of Realtek audio , I have checked in device manager also it is not showing in recording section the mic isn't available.

    I will drop the screenshot

    Please solve it as soon as possible. You can check the Screenshots here for better understanding.
