Please clarify the following:
Does your microphone have a jack connector P2 (two black or white lines), P3 (three black or white lines), or USB connector, or is it connected via Bluetooth?
Also, share a screenshot of your system information.
- Press "Windows + R", type msinfo32 and press Enter.
Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.
I await your reply.

- Inspect USB Connection: Make sure the USB cable is securely connected. If necessary, reseat the cable at both ends or try replacing it if you suspect it might be faulty.
- Firmware Issues: If your microphone has recently been updated, it might be in an unusable state. Try resetting the device or contacting the manufacturer to ensure it has the latest firmware.
- Avoid USB Extenders: If you're using a USB extender, try to avoid it as it can cause issues. If necessary, ensure it meets the device requirements.
