Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro microphone not working in service mode.

Windows 11 Pro microphone not working in service mode, before logging into a user account. Software set to run in service mode on PCs that require logins and cannot auto login to Desktop. Software is performing properly in service mode on all versions of Windows, but microphone doesn't work, specifically for Windows 11 Pro in this state. When logged in as a user microphone works properly on Windows 11 Pro machines. I'm assuming there is a permissions setting that is different between 11 Pro and all other versions of Windows, but have been unsuccessful in identifying it. Microphone in serv

No microphones work in Windows 11

On my relatively new Windows 11 laptop, no microphone works (anymore). Apps appearantly don't receive any audio data. Microphones did work fine before, but not anymore. Audio output works fine.

Apps affected:

• Microsoft Teams for Work (no audio is sent in calls)
  
• Windows Sound Recorder (when starting a recording, time is stuck at 0:00, and the app crashes when stopping the recording)
  
• System settings app (microphone test)
  

Microphones affected:

• Bose QC45 Bluetooth headset
  
• Realtek PCI notebook integrated microphone
  
• Generic USB audio adapter (USB <-> audio jack)
  
• Jabra USB microphone
  

The external microphones work fine with a different Windows 10 laptop.

In System settings, permissions to access the microphone are granted to all relevant apps.

In System > Sound > Properties, when clicking "Start Test", the sound volume is always 0%.

All Windows updates are installed.

I think there must be a fundamental problem in Windows' sound system. How can I fix this?

 

AirPods Pro 2 Microphone Not Working on PC

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

It's possible that your AirPods Pro 2 are not being recognized as a headset because they are not properly set up to work as a microphone on your Windows 11 computer. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check the AirPods Pro 2 settings: Make sure that your AirPods Pro 2 are set up to work as a microphone on your Windows 11 computer. To do this, go to Settings > System > Sound > Input > Choose your input device and select your AirPods Pro 2.

Check the microphone settings: Go to Settings > System > Sound > Input > Device properties > Additional device properties. In the Microphone Properties window, go to the Levels tab and make sure that the microphone volume is turned up.

Update audio drivers: Go to Device Manager and check if there are any updates for your audio drivers. Right-click on the audio driver and select Update driver. Alternatively, you can visit the manufacturer's website to download and install the latest audio drivers for your Windows 11 computer.

Reset your AirPods Pro 2: Try resetting your AirPods Pro 2 by putting them in their case, pressing and holding the button on the back until the light flashes amber, and then repairing them with your Windows 11 computer.

If none of these steps work, you may want to contact Apple support or your computer manufacturer for further assistance.
