  1. Microphone not working in any application but shows detecting sound in windows settings


    I was attending a meeting via zoom. I unmuted myself, spoke and then muted back. After that when I again unmuted myself, started speaking but no one could hear me icon showed that I was unmuted. I later checked in google meet settings. In there, it does not show any option to test microphone but shows a blue icon with three dots means that I am already speaking. Here's how the settings look on google meet for Stereo MixSame situation for Microphone ArrayI tested all input devices in system settings and the results are as follows:1. Microphone Array Intel Smart Sound Technology for Digital

  2. Microphone detected but no output of sound

    Hey,

    I'm out of ideas. I have an XLR condenser microphone that connects to a preamp that then connects to my PC via USB.

    Windows sees the device, I've reinstall drivers, the latest Windows update, and all of the normal things I can think of. The premap shows that my microphone is picking up sound, but I get no output to any application or Windows itself.

    Any thoughts here or suggestions?

    3rd party applications not detecting microphone.

    Hello,

    I recently did a full reset of my PC and my microphone stopped detecting any sound on 3rd party applications like browsers or Discord. When I try to record anything, silence is recorded. However it works perfectly fine on all native Windows apps and surprisingly
    League of Legends voice chat. Before the reset, everything worked perfectly on all applications. I have only one microphone device enabled (Realtek High Definition Audio) and it's my built-in microphone of my laptop. I've tried everything i found on the internet
    but nothing seems to work.

    • I updated microphone drivers.
    • I allowed apps to access my microphone (in microphone privacy settings)
    • I installed all windows updates
    • I disabled all sound effects on the device.
    Is there anything else I could try?

    Microphone Detected in Windows but not Working in Applications

    About a week ago my computer shut down for a windows update. When it came back up, the microphone wouldn't work in desktop applications. The microphone is detected in these applications, but no sound will go through. I have checked security settings
    and nothing seems to be blocking access. The microphone works within windows settings and Microsoft store applications which made me believe it was something with the security, however nothing seems to be blocking access to desktop applications. I tried
    uninstalling the windows update, updating the drivers, and resetting the settings to default with no luck. I tried some random things I have found online and none of it worked.
