  1. Suddenly no microphone input.


    So a while back I gave a friend of mine an old Turtle Beach headset I had so he had a mic to talk with when he plays with us. It was designed for the Xbox 360 but I had a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable that I gave him and worked fine for like a month.

    Randomly one day a couple weeks ago it stopped working. He brought it to me and I tested it and it worked fine on my PC. We uninstalled and reinstalled audio drivers, checked to make sure microphone permissions were enabled and he even installed an old soundcard he had that still works fine and it doesn't work with mic input on that either.

    There is simply no sound shown on the monitoring bar in audio settings at all but it does detect a device as connected. If I plug it into my PC, it works fine.

    I did notice he got upgraded to 2004 right before all this happened so he reinstalled Windows last night and is going to test the mic again tonight to see if it was something broken by the update, but if not I am at a total loss for what it could be.

    I thought it was a hardware issue (it's a fairly old PC with a cheap Gigabyte board and an i7 3770) but as I've said, the mic absolutely works on my PC, audio output works fine on his built in audio device and the sound card he installed, but no matter which mic input he connects to (front, on mobo, or on sound card) he gets no input.

  2. Microphone suddenly stopped working

    My microphone is still not working. I even checked the BIOS as someone had suggested but there is no listing for the microphone in there.

    All usb microphone inputs not working


    So both my adapter for xlr to 3.5mm jack input and my newly purchased usb microphone are not recognised. I've tried updating the drivers, using different usb ports, uninstalling the drivers and letting windows do it manually. Every time though, it's listed as having issue's in device manager... Can some help?

    Suddenly no microphone input.

    Static microphone recoding doesn't accept any input - Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.

    • What is the model of the problematic Acer laptop?
    • Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?

    If the mic input on the PC is mono, plugging it into the
    Line In input of the sound card and selecting Line In as the
    Default Device, should resolve the issue.

    Note: Make sure the Line In device is not muted in
    Levels.

    If it is distortion, lowering the microphone level and raising the master volume of the computer will fix the issue.

    Meanwhile, I suggest you to try the troubleshooting steps listed in
    Fix microphone problems and check if it works.

    If the issue persists, update the BIOS, as this could also happen due to outdated BIOS. I recommend you to get in touch with the Acer support and get the latest version of BIOS installed.

    Note:

    Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from
    the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Modifications of the settings are at your own risk.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,
