Hi, I'm trying to use a headset mic, but the mic isn't working even though windows detects the mic being present (i.e. once I unplug the headset, windows doesn't detect the mic).
The headset/mic works fine when plugged into other devices like my phone or ps5 controller.
- The Realtek console shows the headset option for the front jack, and detects both the headphones and mic when plugged in
- In System > Sound > Properties the mic shows up as the Realtek audio input and input volume can be adjusted
- It's set to Allow app access (i.e. the button shows Don't Allow, but I've tried both toggles anyway)
- In Privacy > Microphone access is on and enabled for all apps
- In Device Manager the microphone is enabled, and I've also uninstalled/reinstalled the realtek drivers
- In Control Panel the mic recording device is active with the green checkmark
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
