  1. My microphone is all of a sudden not working


    Ever since I've gotten hit with the "Conexant Audio" stuff i managed to install the default Corsair Drivers for my headset

    But now my mic Is not working, Instead i get some buzzing/static in my left ear when i have my mic plugged in, not 100% of the time but whenever i try to listen to my voice in discord/mic-check etc

    Would anyone know how i could possibly troubleshoot this?

    I've made sure that my mic is enabled in sound settings, I've made sure It's enabled in device manager

    My audio works fine, but I still can't see my speakers receiving audio over here, as in, the green bar doesn't go up or anything
