Mic not fucking working
| I can plug it into my phone and it works, I've plugged other mics in to my pc and they don't work so I'm assuming it's my pc, but I think I've tried every damn solution there is!
| Worse thing, when I go to recording device my mic flashes for like a second like it's receiving audio then it just stop, a giant fucking troll, the false hope has gotten to me I just wanna die now.
| Also it's a fairly new pc, the mics been working fine for months but literally just stopped today, I was using it perfectly two days ago!
| Buy new one
| Grab a liveCD/liveUSB linux distro, like ubuntu or mint or something, and see if it works with that, to create an idea if it is the system or the audio controller hw has been damaged.
| Usb or jack?
| It's Jack
| OS?
| Windows 7
| Use your keyboard who talks to his pc lmao
| Maybe using a jack to usb adaptader should do the trick
| You think? I mean it's been working for months then suddenly stopped, the computer picks up the mic... So I'm thinking it's more software than hardware
| Its blizzard
| Its still blizzard
| What?
| Did you try setting a default recording device? Try using the mic without drivers, see if the generic one works. 'sfc /scannow' might do something
| The mic is already set to the default recording device, I've also tried without drivers already, and must I type that into the cmd?
| Yep

Ah, here's the problem. Try a GNU/Linux distro of your choice. Then I love to help you. Else ask official Microsoft support. At least you paid for it.
| Try booting a live cd with another os to check out if its a soft issue.
If its not, just open your pc and check out the connections.
If nothing works, get a priest because that shit is fucking possessed.
| I'll try running Ubuntu on a vm tomorrow if that ain't working I'll cry
| A vm install probably will not work either. The hardware will still be managed by the host os and the guest vm only thinks it is administering the real hw. Instead it manages the virtualized hw which in turn passes the requests to the host.
But it is worth a try anyways.
It is the live cd/usb what you shoud use for proper test results.
| Live boot some Linux distro and test your mic
| Do you have a soundcard besides the one on your motherboard? My mic wasn't working and changing the sample rate on the soundcard control panel fixed it.
>>262304 I agree, I don't think it would work on a VM since it seems the host os isn't acknowledging it.
Do you have any other input devices? Disable all those too. Also try disabling the mic, enabling others, and then reenabling the mic and disabling the others.
I had a problem like this, nothing worked. Restart fixed it ._.
| I'm sorry to inform you, but your computer is retarded

| Fucking fuckity fuck someone please help me, I've just spent like the past two hours banging my head against my keyboard trying to fix this. My mic has suddenly stopped working. Well, all mics, my pc just isn't receiving audio, my pc picks it up but just doesn't recieve audio! The levels are max and it's boosted, I've checked all drivers, reinstalled them about 3 times, I've tried my back ports and it's the same thing. My mic still works...
