    Hi, I’m Vinay. Thanks for reaching out.

    I’m here to help you today.

    Press Win+ R, type mmsys.cpl, and click OK

    Go to the Recording tab, right-click on it and click on "Show disabled device"

    If you see your microphone listed, right-click on it and choose Enable.

    Hi!

    1. Check Physical Connections: Ensure your microphone is properly connected to your computer. If it's a USB microphone, try plugging it into a different USB port.
    2. Update Drivers: Go to Device Manager, find your microphone under "Sound, video and game controllers," right-click it, and select "Update driver." Choose the option to search automatically for updated driver software.
    3. Check Sound Settings: Go to Control Panel > Sound > Recording. Make sure your microphone is listed and set as the default device. Click on "Properties" to adjust levels and ensure it's not muted.
    4. Run the Troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter for sound issues. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters, and run the "Recording Audio" troubleshooter.
    5. Restart Windows Audio Service: Press Win + R, type services.msc, and press Enter. Find "Windows Audio" in the list, right-click it, and select "Restart Let me know if the issue is resolved.
