  1. Mic not plugged in, but it is.


    I use the HyperX Cloud Alpha and the mic has been working perfectly for 6 months. But as soon as i installed a Windows update on the 30th of June, the mic was in the headset and now it shows it as unplugged, i have tried the troubleshooter and all it says is that it is unplugged. I plugged the headset into my phone and the mic works fine, i tried all the methods, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, cleaning the headphone jack, making sure that it is actually plugged in. But none of it actually works. i even plugged in another mic headset and that yielded the same results. why?

    :)

    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.

    Headset Mic "Not Plugged In"

    Hi,

    For better assistance, we would like to know more information about your concern.

    • Did you already try to plugged the headset into another port which indicating the mic and headset icon?
    • When did the issue first occur?
    • Did you already try to use another headset to other devices and check if you are encountering the same issue?
    Regards.

    Mic/Headphone ports not working correctly - Acer Aspire 7745

    The speakers are 'plugged in' already as it is a laptop. With no external mic, headphones or external speakers plugged in, the Sound Control Panel lists three things under 'Playback' - HDMI, 'Speakers' and 'Realtek Digital Output' - the Speakers under 'Playback' is set as the default.

    Under 'Recording' with no external mic plugged in these are listed - 'Microphone', 'Line In' and 'Stereo Mix' (Disabled) - the microphone (in this case, the internal one) is set to 'Default' under 'Recording' as well.

    I don't have my headset here to test an external mic right now, but with normal external headphones plugged in, there is no change to the Sound Control Panel under 'Playback' - the same three listings (HDMI, 'Speakers' and 'Realtek Digital Output') with 'Speakers' set as the Default. If I make a noise, say, play a video, I can see the sound meters move to the sound, but no sound comes out of the headphones.
