Microphone not working on ASUS laptop

[SypherRS]

Hi,

So I'm facing this issue where my mic won't record any sound. It shows up in the device manager, but when I speak the green lines don't show that I am. It could be a driver issue, but I've already downloaded the latest drivers for my laptop (rog strix scar 2). 

Next possible cause could be this. I've been having a different issue with audio. The speakers would randomly stop playing sound so I had to go to the realtek sound console and reset the format. That would fix it for a while. Usually after clicking another youtube video it would malfunction again. So I decided to update my drivers, but I was being an idiot and downloaded some different ones... Not the ones from asus. They didn't sound quite right so I realised I probably should download the og ones. I did and restarted. After that the mic just wouldn't work.

 

I'm sorry that it's super long, but I need my mic back really bad

Did the device face any water damage or anyone tried to open it up?

Try to contact official support maybe they can help.

yeah they have 24hrs to respond, this one is instant

alright fixed

all I had to do was uninstall the wrong driver that probably conflicted with the actual one

I feel like a total idiot, but I managed to fix this
