    My issue was that my microphone was picking up sound (as showed in settings->system -> sound -> input) but none of my apps (voice recording app) are receiving any input. This is how i fixed my problem: setting -> system -> sound -> advanced sound settings -> reset to default.

    I have an USB mic fifine k678 which I used to record videos. I haven't used it for a while and now when I tried to connect it to my windows 10 laptop, is shows under device manager as Unknown USB Device(Device Descriptor Request Failed). I tried pretty much all the troubleshooting like disabling and uninstalling the device. I tried to connect it to another laptop and it still doesn't work. I also tried it with my iPhone with an adapter like I used to use it in the past and it doesn't work. I thought it might be the cable but the MIC has a green light which shows that is powered on so the cable should be fine. Also, if I click on properties in the device manager, I get the following message in the status tab "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    A request for the USB device descriptor failed."
    Has anyone got a clue what could be the problem?

    Weird issue. When doing voice over stuff on audacity, I can sit and wait for how ever long I want and my mic is completely silence and it doesn’t pick any sound before speaking. But as soon as I’ve started speaking and stopped, on the audio monitor says the mic is picking up minus -90 sound, so low rumble and looking at a plot spectrum it’s pick up sound 300 to 1000 hertz. But the audio before that has nothing in the spectrum and the audio monitor show’s absolutely nothing, but when I listen to the audio where my mic is supposedly active, I’m not picking up any audible background noise by ear. So my first thought it’s an issue with audacity, but when I use another editor I get the same thing. I use Krisp audio silence software and even when that’s active it’s the same, but when I turn it off the sound is always present, so I know that it’s not that coz the sound is only picked up after I’ve initially started speaking and not before unless krisp is deactivated. So basically the mic isn’t shutting off after of stopped speaking but remains off until I’ve done so Ideas?

    Good tutorial. Thanks.
    I have a hardware issue. I can get my headset (including microphone) to work, but only when I unplug my speakers and plug in the headset instead.
    There are 4 3.5mm connections on my graphics card, a green one, a pink one, a blue one and a orange one.
    Till now, I just had my speakers plugged into the green one, but when I plug the headset splitter in, I need the pink and the green one and have no place for the speaker plug anymore.
    I tried using the blue one for the speaker, but it doesn't work.
    Is this just a shortcoming of my graphics card (1080 Ti) and other cards have two green connections, or am I doing something wrong?
