    windows 10 not recognizing microphone


    so I've got a hyperX cloud 2 headset and ive been using it on my computer and xbox one for about a year and a half now, never had any problems.

    one day I was invited to a discord call and my mic wouldn't work,

    so I tried checking my discord setting - all good

    tried checking my windows setting - mic produced no input.

    so I figured it must be drivers so i continued to use the headset on my xbox with no problems.

    recently coming back to pc I was playing csgo and realized that nothing would even happen when pressing my mic key.

    tried everything to fix it within csgo and came to the conclusion that its a problem on my pc.

    so far here are the procedures I've taken (not necessarily in order)

    - checked port connections - all good

    - checked if my mic was physically muted - nope

    - set headset to default input and output device - no fix

    - updated the hyperX software itself - no fix

    - updated my sound drivers - no fix

    - reinstalled ALL of my audio drivers to the most recent updates - no fix (done multiple times)

    - updated usb port drivers - no fix

    - made sure no vpn or anti virus programs were running to get in the way - no fix


    my mic works perfectly fine on my xbox through usb and through 3.5mm jack on controller.

    ive tried everything i can think of and my pc recognizes this headset as an input option but doesn't detect any sound


    if anyone has a fix or any insight whatsoever i would greatly appreciate it



    im running windows 10 pro

    intel core i5-3210m @ 2.5GHz

    intel HD graphics 4000

    500gb HDD

    4gb DDR2 RAM


    i know my computers trash dont judge
