  1. USB Headset microphone problem


    Okay here is my problem,


    I've been using a USB gaming headset for years. I had a Soundblaster Tactics Rage headset,

    then suddenly last year windows decide that it detects the microphone but it refuses to use it.

    Long story short, I recently got a new headset and it is having the same problem. If I blow or

    talk on the mic, I can hear it over the headset's speakers but it won't show up on on the windows

    microphone tab that the mic is not picking up anything up.

    The drivers were up to date for both headsets but they are both having the same problem. I don't

    know if some kind of windows update caused a problem but I rather not have to refresh windows

    and reinstall everything. I have old copies of 3dmax 2008 and adobe cs3 running on my computer and

    I'm afraid I won't be able to reactivate them since both companies went cloud and dont support these

    older programs anymore.

    :)

  2. USB headset microphone not working

    Hi,

    This issue could have happened due to settings of your Microphone. To resolve your issue, we suggest that you check your Microphone is not disabled and set as default. You can follow these steps to check your microphone settings:

    • Right click on the volume icon and select “Recording devices”.
    • Now, right click on an empty space and select, “Show disconnected devices” and “Show disabled devices”.
    • Select “Microphone” and click on “Properties” and make sure that the microphone is enabled.
    • You may also check if the microphone that you are using is set as default.

    Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

    Strange problem with USB Microphone

    I recently snapped off the microphone-end of the line on my Plantronics headset, so instead of getting a whole new headset, I decided to get a Logitech USB Desktop Microphone.

    I have a custom build PC that I had built last October which has a Gigabyte P35-DS3R mobo that has like 8 or 10 USB ports and runs Vista Home Prem. 64-bit. No matter which USB port I plug the mic into, and record myself using Windows Sound Recorder, I get crackling in the background.

    I thought it might be the unit so I exchanged it for another and still the same thing.

    Then I plugged it into a laptop running Vista Home 32-bit and it works just fine.

    I thought it might be something interfering with it, like the wireless mouse or speakers or something, so I brought the laptop to the location of the desktop, and put the mic in the same environment, and it still works fine on the laptop.

    I've tried leaving nothing else (USB-based) besides the mic plugged in the desktop and still get crackling.

    Obviously all the other devices work just fine (wireless mouse, keyboard, mp3 cable, joystick) with the USB ports, but the mic doesn't.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

    headset microphone problems with windows 10

    I have a USB headset with microphone that I got from Rosetta Stone. When I had Windows 7, I was able to go to Control Panel, Sound settings, etc. and the issue was resolved. I can't find Control Panel on Windows 10, and I haven't been able to get my
    headset mic to register in the "microphone setup" window in Rosetta Stone. One technician suggested that I reboot my computer at least twice with the USB cable attached, but that didn't resolve the problem. I hope somebody can help! Thanks!
