    It never showed my earphone's or headphone's mic in any of these panels even when it was windows 10 and now that its windows 11, its still the same. It only shows "microphone array" and thats default, i think thats my laptop's inbuilt microphone? and even when i am using my headphone its using the inbuilt microphone of my laptop which catches all the noises around and its really disturbing

      when I go to "recording" section all I see is "microphone array" under that they have mentioned "Realtek(R) Audio" "Default Device" so I am guessing that's my inbuilt laptop's microphone. And there are no external mic appearing in that list, both disabled and disconnected devices are checkmarked aswell.

    Hi, Your video helped me a lot. I understood the mic is working only by taking a test. But when I speak on the mic, It doesn't give any echo or feel by my senses (!) that the mic is working. I am using Fifine T669. (I hope you got my point Bro!) Really thanks to you! And, How I can check my mic capability or effectiveness on the performance after recording a video? What parameters will show the mic is working fine?

    Good video. Not a computer person and just bought a new Asus ProArt. Found out it doesn't have a mic jack. Purchased an Asus Mic Adapter. Second day trying to get it to work. Your video was great and I was hopeful but still can't get either of my mics to work on the adapter. The laptop mic does work but for voice-over editing RUclipss doesn't sound that good. Any ideas? Both of the mics I was using on my 15 year old Windows 8.1 machine worked fine. They are TRS. My current thought is I may need to purchase a new mic with TRRS, or not use the Asus adapter and get a regular TRS to USB-C adapter. I really don't know what I'm talking about but that my next toss at the dart board. Asus chat wanted me to mess with my BIOS and there's no way I'm messing with that.
