Windows 10: Microphone Input device is not found

My microphone has stopped worked. I am able to hear audio but the microphone does not pickup any sound at all. I went to System>Soundand under input sound it said no input devices found.In my device Manager currently I have under Audio inputs and Outputs > Speaker RealtekR Audio and under Sound, Video, and Game controllers > RealtekR Audio and IntelR Display Audio. Can someone please help figure out what could be wrong and what can I do to fix this issue.Any recommendations are welcome. Thank You!!!

Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

Step by step fix:

• I went into recording devices
• I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
• Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
• Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't

Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?

 

All usb microphone inputs not working


So both my adapter for xlr to 3.5mm jack input and my newly purchased usb microphone are not recognised. I've tried updating the drivers, using different usb ports, uninstalling the drivers and letting windows do it manually. Every time though, it's listed as having issue's in device manager... Can some help?

 

Microphone not working and showing "No Audio Input Device".

Hello,

My name is Veeresh, I have noticed that there was an issue with the Audio Input Driver. Please use the steps below in restoring your microphone functionality. This could help if any other drivers are missing as well.

1. Please open Device Manager.
   
2. Next click on the Action tab at the top of the window.
   
3. Once you can see the drop-down menu click on Add Drivers.
   
4. After the Add Drivers, window pops up, click on Browse.
   
5. Select Windows (C Drive, then click OK, & afterward click on Next.
   
6. You’ll get a pop-up for a Microphone Driver; install it and you should be all set.
   

If you have found this helpful, please share it with others as I have seen many struggling.

Thanks,

Veeresh
