Microphone not working on windows 10

Hello,

I have tried and verified this, however it did not work.

Good Day MiroM17,

My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you.

Let us work together to sort this out.

-What kind of Microphone you are using is it connected via 3.5 mm jack or USB?

-What is the exact model of your computer?

To check the system model proceed with these steps.

-Press Windows key + R

-Type msinfo32 and hit enter.

-Look for the System Model and Manufacturer and post it here.

If you are using a custom built pc look for Baseboard version and Baseboard product and post it here.

I'll look forward for your response so that I can provide an accurate recommendation.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Sincerely,

Carlo T.

Hi MiroM17

How are you? I hope you are doing good.

I am Juliet and It's my pleasure to help you today.

I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you :)

If your microphone isn't detected, you may need to give your apps permission to use it.

To let apps access the microphone, select Start ,then select Settings > Privacy > Microphone. Select Change, then turn on Allow apps to access your microphone.

After allowing access to the microphone, you can choose which Microsoft Store apps can access these features under Choose which Microsoft Store apps can access your microphone, and give access to non-Microsoft-Store desktop apps by ensuring that the switch beneath Allow desktop apps to access your microphone is set to On.

I hope it helps! Let me know the results.
