Microphone issues

Hi Michael,

Here are the possible reasons why you're getting an error "The microphone did not pick anything up" when using it:

• Incorrect settings (microphone is not set as default device)
  
• Corrupted or outdated driver
  
• Faulty device
  

For us to isolate the issue, we'd like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made to your computer prior to this issue(e.g. Windows updates)?
  
• Have you tried connecting other microphone to your computer?
  
• Have you tried connecting the microphone to the other computer?
  

In the meantime, we suggest running the Recording Audio Troubleshooter to find and repair problems with recording sound. We also suggest checking if your microphone is set as your default recording device. For troubleshooting steps, please see
Geethu B's on this

We're looking forward to your reply.

 

Windows 10, Microphone is not picking up any sound.

Hey there.

So I have had the Razer Kraken Pro headset for my PC for a while now, I have had no problems with the Microphone since now, all of a sudden the microphone does not pick up anything I say. My headset has two separate auxiliary cords connecting to one, The
mic and the headset. Under Playback and Recording devices they come up as Realtek High Definition Audio devices. The microphone comes up as FrontMic and the headset just comes up as Speakers. The volume in my headset works fine however when i talk into my
microphone the bars to the right of FrontMic do not show up, My mic is not picking up any sound from me. So far i have tried the following. Uninstalled the Realtek drivers in Device Manager/Sound, video and game controllers, I have right clicked on The Realtek
High def Audio, Uninstalled, restarted my computer and let windows reinstall the drivers, but still no sound is being picked up from the mic. I have tried using this headset on a different computer and the mic works just fine, I can run a mic test and it will
detect my voice. I also plugged in my other earphones with a mic into my mic spot and still nothing so i know its not the actual headset.

I have been researching this problem for the whole day and this is my last resort any help is much appreciated thanks.

 

Microphone only picks up audio from headphones?

I currently have a pair of razer kraken pro v2's which are plugged into my computer via a headphone splitter. My computer detects my headphones just fine (audio working and all), but when it comes to using the microphone it doesn't seem to pick up my voice at all and only picks up audio coming out through the headphones.

(EDIT): My microphone can now pick up my voice, but it still picks up sounds from my computer. Any way to fix this this?
