      the input section has nothing in it for the mic. any way of fixing?

    • @TropicalTech
      @TropicalTech  Рік тому

      @@KandysSecrets That likely means its not being detected properly. Check the connections are working and in the right ports and if you can, test out the mic on a separate PC or laptop to work out whether the problem is with the mic itself. I do have separate videos for fixing devices that aren't working and they will have a few more things to try.

    After an hour, best I can offer is output audio to desktop speakers and input thru earphones (actually any form of speakers will do, device just gets "reversed" to receive). Like, setting up a cheap headset is quite terrible when the matter is pretty simple.

    I really need an answer for this question, can your microphone work without and activated windows???

      I am not 100% sure, although I guess it would. Best way to check would be to try more than one microphone too see if they both have the same problems.
