Windows 10: Win 10 PC not always detecting Mic In devices [audio problems 1]

Win 10 x64 Dell Inspiron desktop PC

When I plug in a stereo plug into the Mic In on the back of the case _usually_ I get a pop up prompt of: "What did you plug in: Microphone or [something] sound center?" with Microphone already ticked so all I need to do is click OK.

I am having stereo Audio In issues [more in another thread]. I have a cassette player connected via a RCA to Stereo Plug cord. I was recording In using the Stereo plug in the Headphones jack - several stereo Left and Right Tests until I found one with not too much 'middle' and was swapping the RCAs from In to Out and putting the stereo plug back into Mic In. I am finding that after doing it twice the system is refusing to detect the plug and I have to do a Restart. I looked online to see if there was a way around this and in Win 7 and earlier there was but nothing current [when will they remove out dated info - I started following one idea until they wanted me to tick a box no longer there - sigh!]

Is it set to ignore anything put into the jack after 2 or 3 times or some nonsense? There is a minute or more between times so it should be ready.

Thank you for any light shed on this.

USB Mic Problems.


The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Recording Mic Not Detected


So, I'm having a problem, and I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I can hope one of you might be able to help. I'm a newbie to this kind of stuff, most of the time I've figured things out by random trial and error. The problem I'm having is that my microphone is not being detected by Windows, it doesn't show up at all. I've tried a variety of things, but if you think you have a solution, assume I haven't tried it. If you can, I would like details and step by step stuff, I'm not great at improv direction. I'm a streamer and Youtuber, and the mic and interface was chosen because it's the the popular choice among other streamers.

Details of my setup:
Mic: AT 2035
Interface: Line 6 UX2
PC: Custom
OS: Windows 10 Pro
Motherboard: Crossfire V Formula Z
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core Processor 4.01 GHz
Ram: 16.0 GB
GPU: GTX 1080 Founder Edition
Recording Software: OBS

Picture 1: Current configuration of Pod Farm 2
Version: 2.59
Details:
As seen, all three items in the configuration are turned on.Input is set to mic 1, and as seen from the levels the mic is working and the software is registering audio.

Picture 2: Pod Farm License Manager
Details: As seen, both my computer and the UX2 Interface are authorized.Something I see, there are add-on's in UX2 but not on my pc, not sure if that is significant.

Picture 3: Playback and Recording
Details:
"Speakers 3 - Line 6 UX2" from the UX2 obviously.
"NVIDIA HDMI Output (Port 1 - 3)" Are my monitors.
"SONY TV - 4" Another of my monitors.
"AT Headphones" My headphones.
"Realtek Digital Output (1 - 2)" Not sure, but from the disc that came with my motherboard.
"Digital Audio Interface 3 - Line 6 UX2" from the UX2 obviously.
"Microphone" This is not the AT 2035. I'm unsure what it is, but when listening to audio its just the same droning noise. Might be an audio jack on the computer itself.
"Line In" No clue on this.
"Stereo Mix" Not sure what this does, but it is also from the disc that came with the motherboard.

That's everything that I can think to include. If you need more information in order to help I will do my best to answer. So, if you might know of a solution, please do say.

 

Via HD Audio - Sound and Mic not working

I have Asus S400CA.
I also had the same problem with mic not working.
First went to device manager.
uninstall all drivers in Audio inputs and outputs.
Then go to sound, video game controllers.
Select VIA HD Audio. There also uninstall the driver.
Reboot Mic works.
Now right click speaker icon on task bar and click playback devises. If you want speaker, select it as default or headphone as default. In 8.1, as soon as we insert headphone, a dialog used to appear and we can select. Here in 10, that does not happen.
