Windows 10: my system microphone has gone missing, can only see mic from headset

see above

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.

 

Headset mic

Hi Robin,

There could be a number of factors as to why you are experiencing headset microphone issue. This could be caused by an outdated or incompatible device driver or an issue with the device itself.

I would like to know more about your concern. Kindly answer the following questions:

• Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
• Have you tried using another headset microphone? If so are you experiencing the same issue?
  
• Is it happening on all applications that require a microphone?
• Is the headset microphone detected under Device Manager?

Meanwhile, I suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter. To do this, refer to the steps below:

• On the Start menu, type Troubleshoot and then hit
  Enter.
  
• Under Find and fix other problems, click Hardware and Devices, and then select
  Run the troubleshooter.

Let us know how goes and we'll assist you further if needed.
