  1. Mic not working


    Hi all, my mic is not working on a lenovo y520 while playing fortnite. Test works fine. Drivers seem to be up to date, i restarted windows audio services, and the program has access to the mic. It worked all fine till i plugged my external audio card that i use for output only. Since then the mic stopped working while in the game, making me mute (i can hear my mates), thus makes the mute function useless. Any idea?

    Ps: should i use driver easy to update the drivers maybe?

    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.

    Front Panel Headphones and Mic not working.

    Hey Everyone,

    Mobo : ASUS M2N MX SE
    Processor : AMD Athlon X2 5200+
    OS : Windows XP Professional SP2 x86

    My Rear panel Speakers and mic works all fine. I got a new set of headphones(with mic) when i connect it to the front panel they don't work. NO SOUND OUTPUT.

    I updated the audio drivers. I tried a few many things but I still can't get them running.
    My default Sound Manager is Realtek HD Audio Manager.

    Please help me get my Front Panel working. A step-by-step guide would be better.
    Thanks.

    This might occur when some of the mic setting got corrupted.

      Troubleshooting.

    • Select Hardware and Sound.

    • Select Recording Audio under

      and follow the on screen.
