    I find it extremely unpractical that Windows 10 (and other versions of Windows BTW) make it so difficult to fix a microphone sound. All possible sound settings related to a microphone in Windows should be placed at ONE and only ONE single central place inside the control panel. And in there, there should also be a button that says "reset microphone to default settings" that works. We really don't care of all possible settings: all we want is that it works, that's it.
    Also there should be another separate tab for headphone & speaker with all possible settings, and the settings must be on that page, not some kinds of links that bring us to another page.

    I'm using realtek, 3,5m - Plugged in the front, I've had this issue twice now, the microphone just don't get detected, and nobody can hear me, I haven't changed anything.
    The mic is in pristine condition, tested on laptop works. with discord, and games. I checked everything you've done so far and nothing have worked, drivers are updated, I'm using speakers to hear music, and I am only using the headphones mic to speak.
    last time it worked, I didn't do anything special, I plugged it in, and it worked. No stereomix or anything, somehow, then i failed me. and I randomly clicked buttons in the realtek program, and somehow magically it started working again, now I have the same problem and I have no idea what to do,.
    The mic worked the day before, just magically stopped working.
    Or well... They were placed in the back, and I accidentally pulled them out, and they kept connecting and reconnecting, until I pushed them back in which might have damaged the mic (Pink) thing. However I tried putting the 3.5 headphone sticks in the front panel which shouldn't be damaged and the same, nothing.
    I do have sound though.

    I have a laptop (Nitro 5 AN515-52) with only 1 headphone jack (4 pin). My headset is Hyperx Cloud Revolver. So far, no video has helped me whatsoever. When I go into Sound, and check the Recording tab, only the laptop mic (Microphone Array) and some other mic is available (Stereo Mix). My mic is never recognized in that setting and I'm still looking for a solution after a few months.
    (edit): I finally found a solution. In control panel there should be a setting called 'HD Audio Manager". I then double clicked on the icon that looks like a headphone jack. This was set to "Heaphone", and I changed it to "Headset". This fixed the issue instantly.

    I have a headset microphone (with jack plug and headset adapter) that is not plugged in or when I'm talking to a friend, they hear me best when I talk into my headset with sound coming out. It's not the microphone that's broken as I've checked it on other devices. This is on my pc windows 11, does anyone know a solution because I've been searching for a month and nothing helps. thx ❤
