My Quest Mic isn't detecting speech.
My Quest Mic isn't detecting speech.
I recently assembled a computer, and while everything is functioning correctly, my microphone isn't working. I’ve experimented with numerous 3.5mm headphones and microphones, but none are registering my voice; instead, I experience persistent “crackling” static that my companions cannot discern unless audio playback is active. I've attempted numerous driver updates, rollbacks, and installations, as well as modifying Windows 10 settings, to no avail. I plan to purchase a USB microphone to test, though I'd rather utilize my existing hardware if possible. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Here’s a video illustrating the sound (with my speech): https://youtu.be/wFl6HVsMabU
Have you attempted to use the "Troubleshoot sound issues" feature in Windows 10?
Which audio input device appears in Device Manager?
What is displayed under “Device Manager > Sound > Recording”?
sound connections & accessories
: speaker (wireless speaker) and microphone high-fidelity audio device (disappears upon disconnecting the mic)
audio, video & gaming controls
: speaker for hands-free use, speaker for stereo sound, high-fidelity audio device, and NVIDIA high-fidelity audio
no recording devices were identified in either category
If you select a device in the "Device Manager > Sound > Recording" area, can you see disabled devices by checking "Show Disabled Devices"? This information is available at https://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-en...-windows-7
I have confirmed that all audio and recording functions are activated.
