Every microphone stopped working

WlePAs · February 6, 2023

Ok, so I in the past I used my steelseries arctis pro headset's microphone, after a year or two I wanted an upgrade so I got a better mic with an arm and everything, it was working properly, been using the mic and those same headphones for about a year. One day I turned on my pc and mic was not detected and sound disappeared, i thought that was just a bug and then restarted my pc, everything came back except microphone. Tried repluging a couple of times, tried using a different cable (which i definetely know works) still nothing, then I checked my device manager, my headphones were detected but even the headphone microphone was not showing there. No, I did not update my windows, I did not update steelseries gg app or any of the drivers. I thought that was it my mic was broken or something, borrowed another from a friend (usb-c one) still nothing, nothing shows up no sound's or anything. Does anyone know what could have happened. I also checked my pc ports every port works just fine. Strangely enough even my mic on headphones does not get detected anywhere (which i know also works). I tried connecting every mic to my other pc and everyone of them shows up.
Also, don't tell to update drivers, after the issue started i tried to update them everything updated and still nothing. Tried some realtek audio drivers also did not help.

The drivers have been reinstalled a couple of times, did not help. Tried experimenting on the other pc, deleting drivers and reinstalling them and it still works on that pc.
