Computer Not Using and or Not recognizing Headset Microphone

Recently I got a gaming headset but upon plugging in the headset my microphone jack, I realized my computer was not picking up audio from the headset mic. I have looked through other forums but I still cannot find a solution to this problem. I have looked at the sound settings and saw that under the recording category, It shows a second microphone device that is only accessible by plugging in my headset. But when doing so I've noticed that when talking into my headset mic the recordings menu does not show any signs of sound. But if I tap my headset the sound meter goes up. This makes me think that my computer only picks up sounds around the headset and not the mic itself.

Here is an URL to my Microsoft support question there you can see a picture as well as some replies primarily by me.

Other Info
1) For my sounds, video and game controllers in the Device Manager I have High Definition Audio Device and Intel(R) Display Audio listed.
2) I have a windows 7 upgraded to windows 10

 

Computer won't recognize headset microphone

This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

 

My microphone does not work as soon as I plug in my headset(pc mic)

Hi Chase,

Follow the troubleshooting steps below and check if issue persist:

• Open Control Panel, and click on Hardware and Sound.
• Under Hardware and Sound, click on Recording tab and then click
  Configure button.
• Set up microphone with Microphone Setup Wizard. There will be choices that will be given:
  Headset Microphone, Desktop Microphone , and Other. Select Desktop Microphone instead of Headset Microphone.

Make sure that your drivers are up to date.

Let us know how it goes.
