    Windows 10 USB microphone confusion in some apps.


    I have two USB microphones. One is part of a webcam, the other is a standalone microphone that's better quality. Every time I turn my computer on, in Xbox Voice Chat, it chooses the webcam microphone, despite the standalone being the selected microphone for the software. The Xbox Voice Chat app does not have a "default" option, it only lists the two microphones. To fix this, I have to select the incorrect webcam microphone that it is erroneously using, and then select the correct standalone microphone I intend to use. I have to do this every time I turn on my computer and use the Xbox Voice Chat.


    This is sometimes seemingly randomly a problem in Discord as well, when the "default" microphone is chosen. But I can signify the specific microphone I want there as well, and it seems to always correctly use that one. Just tonight I installed some audio software, VoiceMeeter Potato, and it seems to also confuse the microphones when


    Any suggestions?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks
