Does the headset with the mic need any drivers from the manufactures website to run? Could be a good place to start.

As title states, I have a USB mic that is being detected in windows but is not giving any mic output.  I use a pair of headphones for sound, and another headset for a microphone.  This worked for about a week on my new system, and then it blue screened once, and since the mic hasn't been working.  Any help is appreciated!

If you right click on your speaker icon in your taskbar there should be a menu item called Recording Devices where you can set the default device. You may find that your USB mic is no longer the default so can change it by right clicking on the relevant mic.

Perhaps a different USB port and look at the drivers that @SammyG145 mentioned.

 

You could potentially unplug the mic, delete the existing drivers and plug it in again see if they auto install.

Since there are no manufactures drivers I assumed you meant through Device Manager and a restart later its working again! Thanks for your help!
