Windows 10: Sound not Working and Windows 10 won't pick up my headset microphone.

Hello, the sound will stop working whenever I open a game. Like the game sound will stop working. It will work in the main menu of the game, then I get into a game and the audio for my whole computer will just stop. I tried like uninstalling the audio drivers and all of that and it still doesn't work. This only happens when I am wearing a headset.


Another problem is that I am wearing a headset with a microphone built in and Windows 10 only picks up the speakers and not the microphone.

Computer Not Using and or Not recognizing Headset Microphone

Recently I got a gaming headset but upon plugging in the headset my microphone jack, I realized my computer was not picking up audio from the headset mic. I have looked through other forums but I still cannot find a solution to this problem. I have looked at the sound settings and saw that under the recording category, It shows a second microphone device that is only accessible by plugging in my headset. But when doing so I've noticed that when talking into my headset mic the recordings menu does not show any signs of sound. But if I tap my headset the sound meter goes up. This makes me think that my computer only picks up sounds around the headset and not the mic itself.

Here is an URL to my Microsoft support question there you can see a picture as well as some replies primarily by me.

Other Info

Windows 10 No microphone will work

Sorry about the long response time. Work sucks sometime.

I tried both a headset microphone and the usb microphone on another Windows 10 computer. It did not pick up any microphone signal and was showing the same emulated sound output as I noted before.

That is what is really bothering me. Both computers detect the microphones, yet output is being directed to them as well as any plugged in speaker/headphone.

 

Headset Microphone not picking up sound Windows 10

I have a Dell PC that works just fine. My Turtle Beach headset is a single-jacked 3.55mm jack. The headset works on my laptop, but when I plug into either the Mic input or Headset input the microphone won't pick up sound.

When I go into settings under Sound > Recording, no bars show up when I talk into the mic.

I have already uninstalled the specific drivers for the headset, both microphone and headphone. I have also completely uninstalled the default windows drivers. I have scanned them for updates, and still nothing.

Apps like TeamSpeak 3 will see that I have a mic plugged in, but no sound is detected.

Im sorry if I didn't explain this well enough. Im not too tec-savy. Please tell me if you need me to elaborate on anything.
