Good Day InarosH

My name is Carlo, I'm an Independent Advisor and community member like you.

I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.

First, please try to check if the USB Mic works with other device for us to isolate the issue if its on the computer or the USB Mic itself.

If the USB Mic does not work with other devices means the USB Mic is faulty.

sorry for the wait, no none of those options worked for me. every time i go to download any chipset or driver, it says its done installing, i click finish, it restarts my pc, and when i log back into it it just loops around and tries to make me re install what i just did. ive done that about a good 12 different times at this point. and for every other solution you gave, i cant even test if those work because the microphone just doesn't show up anywhere on my pc.
