Windows 10: Xbox wireless headset MIC not working with Windows 10

I recently purchased the Microsoft Xbox wireless Bluetooth Headset to play on my Xbox and talk in Discord on my PC. Worked fine for about a week until Windows stopped recognizing my headset as an Input device for my mic. Still works for Audio output but not at all for Mic input. Tried using the same headset on my Mac laptop and it works exactly as it should with the headset and mic both responding correctly as input and output devices on the computer. However, still not working on my PC at all for the Mic. My computer has no updates currently, headset has been updated as far as it can, and I d

windows 10 headset mic not working

Still not working for me. I did find out one more interesting fact:

I tried to go to Speech Properties (Advanced Speech Options -- under Speech Recognition)

and when I selected my Xbox 360 headset as the recording device, and restarted Speech Properties, it gave me the following error message:

"Could not initialize volume meter, please select a different recording device"

FYI -- I've messed with Privacy-Microphone and Control Panel-Sound settings to no avail: default devices, enabling/disabling, reinstalling drivers, levels, mute, etc. Nothing works. This is DEFINITELY a Windows 10 problem. My chat headset works great
on my Xbox360 and when I was on Windows 7, my USB Xbox360 controller and chat headset were working perfectly. I'm regretting my upgrade and highly debating reverting back.

Update: I found another thread and they recommended the follow which worked for me...

Xbox360 Headset Microphone Not Working

• Plug in Controller and Headset
• Control Panel - Sound - Recording
• • Disable alternate microphones (eg: webcam mic)
• Device Manager
• • Sound, video and game controllers - Headset (XBOX 360 For Windows)
  • • Uninstall driver
  • Scan for Hardware Changes (will auto-install Xbox Headset)
• Restart

Headset mic not working

I upgraded from windows 8.1, and i used a Turtle beach XO7 headset and it worked fine.

I updated to windows 10 and my headset mic isnt being used, i went to recording devices and it doesnt show up but the web cam mic. the audio plays fine through the headset, but the mic itself doesnt work. I dont know if it even has drivers, its an Xbox one
mic.

I also have another mic from Xbox one that has the same problem, Please help.



Thank You.
