Hi,
What is the model of your microphone or headphones?
If you use a jack or USB input, which type do you use?
Thanks

2025-12-26T08:43:29.75+00:00 There are several reasons why your computer might not detect your microphone as an input device. Here are some common issues and troubleshooting steps:
- No Microphone Devices Enumerated: This event indicates that no microphone device is available in the system. This often happens if the microphone is not properly connected or has been removed.
- Microphone Not Functioning: The microphone may not be functioning correctly, which can occur if the audio input session is terminated by the operating system or driver layer.
- Microphone Mute Unexpectedly: If the microphone is muted, it will not be detected as an input device. Some headsets have physical mute buttons that can trigger this issue.
To troubleshoot:
- Check if the microphone is properly connected to the computer.
- Ensure that the microphone is not muted.
- Use the User Facing Diagnostics API to listen for events related to microphone issues and display warnings to the user.
- You can also try switching to a different microphone device or unplugging and plugging in the current microphone to see if it resolves the issue.
If the problem persists, consider checking the audio settings in your operating system to ensure that the correct microphone is selected as the input device.
