Need help with mic

[Mr.Moustache]

Hello LTT fans,

I recently just build my first pc a week ago, on the 1st September and for some reason my mic isn't working. I have updated all my drives and even rednloaded them but seems it dosen't fix the problem.

BTW i use a mic that is attached on my headeset

Please help i really want to call on discord with my friends so i can clap noobs online, thanks

P.S The headset i use is the Hyperx Cloud Stinger Core

Check if Windows allows access to the microphone. There's a weird setting hidden somewhere in Windows 10, I'll try to find a guide. BRB

 

Edit:

Found a quick guide

 

TLDR:

Settings -> Privacy -> Check that the device has microphone access and that apps have access to the mic as well

@myselfolli I have turned it on so i can acess microphone but it still isnt working, know any other ways?

[myselfolli]

Check that you have set your microphone set as the default recording device as described in Solution 2 of the guide I linked.

 

Also, how is your mic/headset connected? From what I found online, it should have dual 3.5 mm audio jacks. Please make sure they are both plugged in correctly.

There should be an inline microphone mute switch on your cable, make sure the mic is not muted there.
