Windows 10: My microphone of headset not detectingNor working.

Hello, everyone!!

I bought a new gaming headset for my Laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series.

I did hear the sound but I couldn't record anything. Later on, I checked the sound settings and found out that my headset wasn't showing up. I also used that unhide but nothing popped up.

Let me mention what I tried. I tried all the latest versions on drivers Realtek Audio, Realtek HD Audio, Hd AudioNone worked for me.

Also, https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ecording/697984da-03dc-448b-8e93-d83b57053d2d I tried every single thing from this. But it didn't work.


My Laptop has a single jack whereas my headset has two one for mic and the other for speakers. I have used the combo jack male3 sleeves to female4 sleeves 3.5mm and this works fine for my mobile.




I need help!

Thank you

:)

Hi,

Here's what you can try:

1. Navigate to Settings > Privacy > Microphone

2. Click the Change button, then make sure Microphone for this device is turned on.

3. Make sure Allow apps to access your microphone is turned on.

If you still continue to have the same problem after doing the troubleshooting steps, then proceed to the steps below:

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Sound

2. Select the Recording tab, then right click on any empty place inside the device list and tick Show Disabled Devices.

3. Right click the Headset Microphone and click Enable.

4. Right click it again and select Set as Default Device.

5. Right click Headset Microphone and click Properties.

6. Click the Levels tab, then drag the volume slider towards the largest value.

7. Click OK

Hopefully this resolves your issue.

 

Sennheiser GSP 350. Microphone stops working when I open any game

Wow, ok. I think I've fixed it by accident while fiddling around.

It appears to be the Realtek audio being the issue here. I don't use my onboard sound card as my headset is a USB headset only and my speakers are plugged into an ASUS sound card.

Step by step fix:

• I went into recording devices
• I enabled STEREO MIX (Realtek High Definition Audio)
• Then I set that Stereo Mix as the DEFAULT DEVICE (At this point it took over both input and output devices without my permission )
• Then set my Sennheiser headset as default recording and playback devices in their respective windows even though they both still said they were the default devices when they weren't

Headset microphone is currently functioning while in game now. I'll update the thread if it goes again. Should I completely disable Realtek audio??? Or will windows just force it to work again?
