this is the best tutorial I've ever watched in my life, genuinely. goes through all issues possible and thoroughly enplanes fixing process. cheers mate
OMG You saved my life!!! Seriously, 10 plus hours of trying everything and all I had to do was go to the privacy settings. I didn't even think of that. 1,000 thank yous for making this video. Not all heroes wear capes. Unless you do wear a cape in which case maybe they all do haha.
@@IRbashboon ok, my problem is that since I have Realtek HD Audio Manager it somehow interferes with my heaphones... (i.e When I uninstalled the audio manager I could hear audio from headphones but when I reinstalled the manager first of all I couldn't hear audio from headphones and secondly the headphones weren't even appearing in the playback device list. I have no idea..
@@willf9646 i got the realtek HD Manager too. One thing I also did was disable everything i dont need so only my HyperX Headset was left to set as default
@@IRbashboon But do you know why my headset isn't popping up in the playback list of devices? Like I said before, it only appears when I uninstall Realtek audio manager. It's weird.. And if I did keep it uninstalled then I wouldn't be able to use my mic
I just wanted to say thank you, truly thank you. It was becoming extremely frustrating that I could hear the sidetone of my mic, knowing it worked, but it wouldn't work with anything. The method - Start>Setting>Privacy> and reselecting "let apps use your mic" did the trick. You have earned yourself another sub.
after receiving my pc in 2018 and the mic not working you have now fixed my mic problems i thought it was the microphone and bought several to test thank you so much!!!
Thanks man. I'd dumb and got all sketched out so I did disable the mic in Windows Privacy settings. I completely forgot and was wondering why it wasn't working no matter what I was trying. Thanks for going through all of the possible options. Guys, if you can't get your mic to work, just be patient and follow everything he does. I know you wanna go to TH-cam and find a 30 second video on how to quickly fix the issue, but life doesn't work that way. Thanks again man, cheers.
Absolutely fantastic. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Microsoft escalated technical support, and I allowed them FULL remote access to my computer. They accomplished absolutely nothing. Your video solved my problem in a matter of minutes. THANK YOU!
If you are using a hyper x product make sure your mic is fully plugged in and non of the grey part is showing If your headsets are recognized as speaker and the mic is not working go to hyperx frequently asked questions and you will get a fix quickly. You can also go to realtek audio manger and make sure “make front and rear output devices playback 2 different steams simultaneously “ is turned on and choose the second mic
make sure you have the headphone wore in the headphone jack and the mic wire in the mic in jack cuz that is something tht people get mixed up some of the time. also, try plugging in the headphones in the back of the computer (in the motherboard ) and if that worked then you either dont have you hd audio connected correctly or you dont have the audio drivers. the hd audio is very common also
THE FIX WORKED!!!!!!!! That final one where you disable the sound effects. What a goofy thing to have to do. I've spend roughly 8 hours over the past week trying to fix this damn thing. If not for your video I would have had to do a clean install of WangBlows and it still wouldn't fix it. I can't thank you enough!
Same, it was so confounding that I actually ordered another microphone because I thought my Audio-Technica 2500 was broken somehow. It would have been really nice of Microsoft to notify users about the microphone control switch being moved to Privacy Settings better. Glad we've both got our mysterious microphone problem fixed, thanks to the amazing help of the video author! :)
took me two days of searching the internet and trying different things that didn't work before I found you. Thank you so much, It totally fixed my mic issue!
My headset work but my mic doesn’t even though it says I have it plugged in I even went to the store to get a new headset but my mic still doesn’t work
EfencyX nope none of these work i have to play and talk with my friends without a mic but my friends are annoyed because they Can hear everything in the background
My mic stopped working after a windows update. Watching this video made me find out that the update had turned the privacy settings for all my apps off. Thanks a lot mate! I would have never found this on my own!
Simple, I must have turned "use mic in apps off". Turning that "on" fixed it for me. Just search "privacy setting" in cortana. Issue solved if Discord isn't picking up your headset mic.
Just wanted to give a strong thank you! I had microphone issues with my last computer. Turns out it just muted itself in properties. Fixed, and using my microphone happily once more!
Kyrocakex I need help I just spent 100 on At2020 mic and it’s really good reviewed mic, and it doesn’t have the name of my mic it says like usb and when I record my voice it’s quite and very buzzy
I have the mic Alctron UM900 (really great one) and after I updated my Win7 to 10 it doesnt work. Tried to find solution for 2 years and I didnt find one. So sad
mate your a legend iv been trying to fix this issue for over a week now and iv read so many things and watched so many videos and you helped me fix this issue thank you
Thank you for the great tips, My mic stopped working after window10 update. I have spent hours trying to fix the problem. Guess what it was the privacy. Thanks again I wish I found your video earlier.
I woke up at ~11pm and I see there is a Windows10 Forced update. Ah bloody hell I'll let it update it while I sleep. In ~9 hours I wake up and in a few games I noticed when I tried to use my microphone it wouldn't work. I watched this guide, Privacy>allow apps to use Mic (ON)>disable all the following apps below. BOOM it works. Now, before the microphone issue after the update I had to reinstall a Logitech driver because the update caused the keyboard light not to work. The weird part is that on the Microphone Privacy thing, before the update I am confident to say that I had the "allow apps to use microphone" set to off. I wish i could go back to Windows 7. : '( This Guide helped and thank you very much. It's a very simple, thorough but understandable video that doesn't add a bunch of rubbish. :)
Slaxis CS bruv i had the same thing i couldn’t talk in any of my games after like a few months i watched this video did the same thing as you did and finally i can enjoy my games to the fullest
Clorox Bleach same thing with me and I’m about to rip my fucking dick off or just completely reset my computer to factory so maybe if it’s my fault it will just fix itself cause it used to work but not anymore
7m15s - privacy setting for microphone was disabled with W10 update build 1909. I would have never guessed going to Privacy setting for a microphone! Thank you Britec09
Thank you my friend, entirely forgot how paranoid I was until I got to your section on allowing microphone to use apps. Fixed at last. Very much appreciated.
How a simple overlook in settings can give you a lot of headache... Turned on app mic access and re-selected it as default and it is working! Thank you
So I was encountering the same issue, and I stumbled across a solution which worked for me (Windows 10): 1. Open the app/game where you aren't experiencing any mic output 2. Hit the Window logo key; search Settings > Sound. 3. Under 'Advanced sound options' select 'App volume device preferences' 4. For the app where you're experiencing issues, change the input from 'Default' to your microphone of choice. Make sure that the app which you wish to make changes to is currently running in the background, otherwise it won't appear in this settings menu.
my microphone realtek High definition doesn't go through my hyper cloud stinger anymore, usually when i get close to the mic on my headset it makes the sound when you scream into the mic. I've been researching for over 10 hours and i can't find any result. Please leave a comment if you know how to fix this. Thank you.
I've been through so many videos that didn't help, your video, by walking through every place to check, solved my problem! For me, I hadn't done the speech recognition "setup". Windows 10 has more holes than swiss cheese. Thank you!!!!
My Computer thinks my Microphone is just some Headphones and so it only works as headphones. I am really out of Ideas. Does somebody have an Idea. Ps: I tried everything out in this Video
Thank you great sir. 3 hours spent trying to fix my mic on other videos and pages not a single one mentioned the privacy settings and sure as crap my mic was disabled in there.
Thx a lot man, in my case it was a problem with the privacy settings. I was looking all around, uninstalling and reinstalling audio drivers and software managers. You saved me a lot of time!
if you have an xbox controller you can connect a usb into your computer and your controller and plug in your mic in the earphone jack under the controller and that should fix the problem
MS is pretty screwy. Off topic, when they updated Minecraft to 13.x (bedrock), it broke all the skins. In a similar fashion, they updated the audio stacks and they are completely unrecognizable. All sound card manufacturers had to redo everything. In the past 3 updates of Win10 (latest being 1909) they have been redoing the audio stacks each update and it KILLS all driver support. Bluetooth lags, microphones break, very seldom speakers will pop and crackle. Realtek releasd their spec to every manufacturer, and if your board's brand doesn't update the driver, you're out of luck forever I'm afraid... I have aorus gaming 7 z370, last update was in 2018. Until Gigabyte releases a new driver, I'll be out of luck in that department. I know they won't be updating. Works perfectly fine in Win7 and FreeBSD.
dude glade you put this on here went out bought a roccat juke external sound bar cause ppl said thats why it didnt work.....but it didnt and came across ur vid and now everything working the way it should.....keep up the work and vids man
1st go to windows settings > privacy > microphone - make sure it's enabled 2nd go to control panel > hardware & sound > Hd audio manager - double click the little circle underneath where it says "analog" and select "headset"
If you are a gamer (bet 9/10 this is it) 7:09 is what you are looking for plus "Allow desktop apps" (for discord, games and etc.) at the very bottom so 3 things should be turned on here. Thanks for the video!
Seems win10 works well as usual. New problems with every update. lol Not regretting I stayed with win7 and working on learning Linux. Great guide as usual though. :)
Thank you dude! Subbed and liked. The last step worked by turning it on via allowing it from settings mic app permission. Thank you. I turned it off there to today, to make computer faster. Btw you have a gorgeous wallpaper!
Thanks brother you have been more than helpful. All these months I thought my mic was broken until i bought a new one and it didn't work at all so I decided to look for help and stumbled upon your vid, which saved my ass. So thank you sincerely, liked and subbed.
Thank you so much! The Privacy setting was causing my microphone problems! I went without comms for about a few months trying to figure out what the frack I did.
It was the audio enhancements that was preventing my mic from working! Maybe the noise cancellation ended up cancelling everything or something? Thanks for the comprehensive list of fixes!
So I followed this guide partially, and at 2:59 where it says "Playback through this device" I put the selection to what he has on the screen to "default playback device" and windows started picking up my mic. Originally what was driving my nuts was, I thought in that selection box, you choose your actual device title....So for those who can't fix their mic still, you can try that and have the best of luck. Also thank you Britec, tbh if I didn't find your guide that lowkey pointed out that box I woudn't have fixed my audio issue. xD
I don't expect you to ever see but if you do, Thank you so much, as a person who use a computer to keep in contact with friends, so losing the use of my microphone is very unsettling for me, and thank you again.
If you’re using a 3 prong single 3.5 audio jack set of headphones, then the pc won’t recognize both cables. An easy fix is to plug in a ps4 or Xbox controller, then plug in the headset to that. Another way is to buy an audio splitter 3.5 3 prong female to 2x 3.5 2 prong male cable. I’ll make a video on it, I promise this works for literally anyone that didn’t get it fixed by this video, go check it out when it’s up 👍.
Thx. The "allow apps using your microphone" part did it for me. If you have problems with discord, but everything else looks ok in the system, i recommend this step! :)
You did it! It took me until the 8:00 mark to turn it on in the privacy settings. Many hours to get to this point but you are the man! Thank you, sir, for the help
I actually troubleshooted with the online IT support for my headset's manufacturer, and they didnt know about this new windows fix. They actually sent me a new headset for free to see if that will work, and it didnt! I searched the internet on forums, reddit, and lastly youtube. thank god for you Britec09! I was about to throw my computer out the window!!
je viens des alpe et j'avais des gros soucis avec ce problem de sons jai regarder des video un bon 4 heure lue des tonne de forum... mais ces toi qui a résolue mon problem, tu ma redonner espoir en la vie et tu étai le dernier video que je regardais si non je brisai ma television avec ma tête..

Thank you so much! The Privacy setting was causing my microphone problems! I went without comms for about a few months trying to figure out what the frack I did.
My man, you're a sanity saver. I plugged and replugged everything in my mixer trying to figure out wtf
Thank you so much you deserve more subscribers!!!
Thanks you. Solved my issue with the Mic. Privacy settings was the issue. Thanks once again.
Great video. this is the only video that solved my problem. (it was an older driver) Keep up the good work!
It was the audio enhancements that was preventing my mic from working! Maybe the noise cancellation ended up cancelling everything or something? Thanks for the comprehensive list of fixes!
thanks it being a month that i tried to to find a video that work
Good call, massive thanks for the video, that was a big help. For me it was the privacy setting.
So I followed this guide partially, and at 2:59 where it says "Playback through this device" I put the selection to what he has on the screen to "default playback device" and windows started picking up my mic. Originally what was driving my nuts was, I thought in that selection box, you choose your actual device title....So for those who can't fix their mic still, you can try that and have the best of luck. Also thank you Britec, tbh if I didn't find your guide that lowkey pointed out that box I woudn't have fixed my audio issue. xD
I don't expect you to ever see but if you do, Thank you so much, as a person who use a computer to keep in contact with friends, so losing the use of my microphone is very unsettling for me, and thank you again.
You sir, are a life saver. The privacy settings really was my problem.
If you’re using a 3 prong single 3.5 audio jack set of headphones, then the pc won’t recognize both cables. An easy fix is to plug in a ps4 or Xbox controller, then plug in the headset to that. Another way is to buy an audio splitter 3.5 3 prong female to 2x 3.5 2 prong male cable. I’ll make a video on it, I promise this works for literally anyone that didn’t get it fixed by this video, go check it out when it’s up 👍.
Thx. The "allow apps using your microphone" part did it for me. If you have problems with discord, but everything else looks ok in the system, i recommend this step! :)
Thanks the soloution at 7:52 helped me.
PizzaIsGood ME TOOOO THANKS FOR COMMENTING THIS YOU FUCKING LEGEND✌🏽✌🏽
You did it! It took me until the 8:00 mark to turn it on in the privacy settings. Many hours to get to this point but you are the man! Thank you, sir, for the help
I actually troubleshooted with the online IT support for my headset's manufacturer, and they didnt know about this new windows fix. They actually sent me a new headset for free to see if that will work, and it didnt! I searched the internet on forums, reddit, and lastly youtube. thank god for you Britec09! I was about to throw my computer out the window!!
