    Microphone Quit working after Win 10 update


    I have a Blue Snowball Microphone that was working on my old Windows 10 PC and when I upgraded to my new Dell PC it worked fine. Did the latest updates on win 10 and now it will not work. Have tried to update drivers and the sound Diagnostics but to no avail. Mic is a Blue Snowball which I like because It sits above me and Cortana heard it real well. But she hears it no more.

    :)

    I understand that after an upgrade of Windows the microphone is not working, we will look in to this for you. However, in order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:



    • What type of upgrade are you referring to, is it a system upgrade or an update?
    • What is the complete model number of the tablet?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit Enter.
