Microphone gets detected by the PC but does not work (does not detect sound).

[FARAWAYPLACE98]

For some reason no microphone works with my pc, they all get detected but do not work as intended.
I have tried all most all the options there are from updating the microphone drivers to reinstalling windows, but nothing works
the microphones work properly with other devices.
I ended up getting a USB sound card but it also has the same problem.
This happens to both the front and back jacks.
is there any way to fix this,
I have ASUS H370 mobo

Hi

 

There is a sound control panel were you can see the mic settings I am assuming you  have Windows 10

 

Do

Start

Type sound  -- one option is --Sound setting  (Use Mouse )

On  right top corner you have -- Sound Control Panel  ( mouse )

 

From there you can check the mic setting

Possible solutions: reinstall sound driver, set mic as default mic device, update mic driver.

 

If it doesn't work - and mic work with other devices

 

Possible solutions: reseat sound cables that connect to the MB, invest into a sound card and plug it into a PCI port, change MB. In that order.

 

PS: reinstalling windows doesn't fix anything in most cases, and it never did for me. Refrain from doing it in the future. It takes up a lot of time and achieves nothing. Reinstalling windows is done for other purposes, but fixing a possible sound issue? No.

I get you. Had a similar problem. What fixed it was raising the PCH core voltage by a small margin. But with me it was the headphones that were crackling. And they were working fine until CPU was under load. So I'm pretty sure this won't help.
