Lol still better than my internet.

I mean to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if I had some interesting stuff going on with my system, its random lol. Is there anything I can do aside from reinstalling windows if it's a software issue? If not, at least I most likely know the cause, and can fix it another time.

I have not tried that, certainly will though thank you. Unsure if I have reinstalled windows since the issue. I just randomly look into fixing every couple years aha. Thank you.

Yeah I use the same microphone across all of my devices, and have also plugged several different microphones into all of the ports on the computer. Tried updating, rolling back, and uninstalling related drivers. Nothing happens. Purchased splitters to plug it into a usb port instead and that didn't end up working either.

Hello, So I hunt this issue every once in awhile, haven't been able to figure it out in years, and the several tech forums I have asked weren't able to help me. Simply, my computer doesn't support a microphone. I plug it in, it detects it, but it doesn't play any sound. At this point, pretty sure its a hardware issue, but hoping someone here can offer suggestions. Sound otherwise works fine. (Also can't get volume to come through the headphones when also using the microphone. Thanks everyone. :)
