Windows 10: PC Mic Issues

A while back, I was in the middle of something when a Win10 prompt came up saying something about my PC mic having some kind of conflict DO YOU WISH TO DISABLE... Being that my mind was elsewhere I just clicked on YES and went back to what I was doing..

Now I can't get my mic to work to save my life..

It's a gamer Headset/Mic combo.. I know the mic works as I tried it on a different PC..

I am at the point where I just want to re-install Win10 to get it to work... But I realize that is overkill..

I have tried uninstalling all sound devices... No change..

I go to CONFIGURE MIC.. It says I have a mic and headphones plugged in, which they are not.. Normally I use a FRONT PANEL which I completely unplugged from the motherboard..(pictured)

I also get a warning box (pictured)..

I have so many issues it seems to me that just re-installing the whole tOS seems easiest..

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Mic issue with Realtek

Hi,

I would suggest you to first check if the MIC is set as the default device. Right click on the volume bar in the notification area and then click on 'recording' devices. In the recording tab, right click in the MIC and click 'Set as Default' and then check. If
the issue still persists, I would suggest run the Audio troubleshooter and check. Press Windows key +X and then click on 'Control panel'. Click on 'Troubleshooting' and then click on the 'Audio troubleshooter' Try these steps and let us know the results.
