    Cant change microphone quality

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I'd suggest you to follow the below steps and check if you're able to change the microphone quality.

    1. Click on Start icon.

    2. Type Manage audio devices and press Enter.

    3. Click on Recording tab.

    4. Right click on the Microphone and select Properties.

    5. Click on Advanced tab.

    6. Set the sample rate to CD Quality or DVD Quality.

    7. Click on Apply and OK.

    Restart the system and check. Update us on the result.

    Hope it helps.

    Unable to use Microphone on the computer

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to use Microphone on your computer. I’ll certainly assist you with this issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • Were you able to use Microphone on your computer earlier?
    • What is the make and model of the Microphone that you are using?


    Ideally, if we add a new Microphone to the computer, we will need to go through the setup process to use it, let me help you with the steps. I would suggest you to refer the article on
    How to set up and test microphones in Windows 10 and setup
    the Microphone. Once the Microphone is setup, you can start using it.



    If you still face issues, I would suggest you to refer the article on
    Fix microphone problems
    and see if that helps.



    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Unable to change microphone quality

    Cant change microphone quality

    I cannot change the microphone quality beyond 8000 hrtz. I have tried everything from uninstalling to drivers to manufacturer software. When I select a higher quality a window pops up saying the device is in use by another application and may end current
    applications. Would I like to change anyway? Yes.. but then the window just closes and reverts back to the lowest quality. Before the last update it worked fine. I am using all current drivers and software. Microphone is a Steel Series Acrtis pro wireless
    so it has a game DAC and connects via USB. I really need this to work.
