Windows 10: Says mic is not plugged in

I cannot use my microphone anymore, I tried using a new headset, disabling & reenabling drivers, uninstalling drivers, and the troubleshoot just says the problem is that the mic is not plugged in however both headsets iv used can still play sound when plugged in, if anyone can get back to me on how to resolve this that would be great

My headset mic says it is not plugged in

Then go back and perform the steps I gave which should fix a headset mic.

This is an interactive process. I give steps to perform, you do each one and then report back results until something works, so I know what to suggest next. If you need help performing any step, just ask back. But please do not skip any steps. We often find out the skipped step is the fix.

I was very specific about where to get your drivers. I also just now asked you for the full make and model number of your PC or motherboard and you've apparently missed that, too. I understand it's frustrating but all I see here is I gave you a list of steps that always fix Headset mic's and none of them were followed. Maybe you should get some rest and come back to this tomorrow when you can focus on the steps, one by one, until it's fixed. I will be here to help you as much as you need.

Do you have a friend or family member who is tech-oriented who you could show this thread to and ask to help you? I will work with anyone there who can follow steps until the problem is fixed.

 

My headset mic says it is not plugged in

So a couple of days ago I got noticed my computer was using my webcam mic and not my headset mic, which I thought was strange because it usually defaults to the headset. I checked sound settings and it says that my mic is not plugged in, it even specifies the headphone jack it needs to be plugged, but it is plugged in. The audio works but the mic is not recognized by my computer and I have tried various things to fix it and no luck, and its getting really annoying. How can I fix this problem? I am using Windows 11 with the latest update. I know its not the headset because I tested it on my PS4 and my other laptop and it works perfectly, so I think its my computers fault.
