  1. Microphone works when I listen to it, but it doesn't work anywhere else


    My question is a bit of an odd one, mostly because I never would've imagined this is even possible, but moving on:

    I have a microphone, Razer Seiren X, which has worked fine until now isn't such a good mic, but it works.


    Yesterday it was just fine but today it doesn't work at all. After doing some research, the problem has nothing to do with cables, and the microphone does work when I go to Recording Devices and I start listening to it. What's odd, is that this is the only place where the microphone registers sounds.


    If I go to Sound Settings, and start tapping on the microphone, the volume bar doesn't show any input from the mic, same when I go to my chatting app Discord and try to use it there.


    I have the latest available windows version KB4532695 Version 1909, my mic is a USB mic.

    I've also tried using another microphone, my headset one and the same problem seems to appear.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Double Tap doesn`t work on Lumia 620

    Hello,

    Double Tap to wake doesn`t work at my Lumia 620. I have all on in settings but still doesn`t work. I`m pretty sure that in update AMBER or BLACK this function works properly. But after DENIM update doesn`t. Maybe you are planning some update for this future
    ?

    Thanks
