    Why has my PC suddenly stopped recognizing my Realtek headset microphone, while still...


    So I went to use my mic for the first time in a while tonight while gaming and noticed that my PC was no longer recognizing my Realtek headset mic see screenshot. As you can see, it still recognizes the headphones, but the only option under the mic is my webcam. The Mic works, I tried it on my laptop. I also trouble shot all available suggestions on this thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/headset-detachable-mic-not-being-detected-in/6f19adac-fad7-4f5e-a236-860b5f68549b#:~:text=Select%20Start%20%3E%20Settings%20%3E%20Privacy%20%3E,the%20settings%20for%20each%20app.T

  2. Computer won't recognize headset microphone

    This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

    Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

  3. Computer won't recognize headset microphone


    I would assume I am using the Dell provided Realtek sound Drivers. Im not entirely sure though. Heres what I see in the same spot as your two images. The microphone that is disabled is the inbuilt microphone next to the webcam.
