Hi! Are your headphones Bluetooth or wired?

If they're wired, they have two connections, like this:

Or is there only one connection?

It could be a problem with your headset or driver.

• Connect the microphone connector to the pink connector, and the audio connector to the green connector.
• Try another headset on your computer.
• Test your microphone using Windows Voice Recorder and a microphone testing website.

To fix your headphones for input in a game, you can try the following steps:

1. Check Connections: Ensure that your headphones are properly connected to the audio jack on your headset or PC. If your headset doesn’t have built-in headphones, connect them directly to the audio jack.
2. Volume Control: Some headphones have physical buttons to control the volume. Make sure the volume is turned up and not muted.
3. Audio Settings: Go to Settings > System > Sound and ensure that your headphones are selected as the default input device. You may need to right-click in the Sound Control Panel and choose "Show disabled devices" to see if your headphones are listed there.
4. Microphone Settings: If your headphones have a microphone, check if it is muted. Some headsets have a physical mute button.
5. Troubleshoot Microphone: Run the Microphone Setup troubleshooter by going to Settings > Time & Language > Speech and selecting "Get Started" in the microphone section. Make sure you select the correct microphone endpoint.
6. Restart Apps: If you are using a specific game or app, try restarting it or the Mixed Reality Portal if applicable, as audio issues can sometimes occur when the audio device changes.
7. Update Windows: Ensure your Windows is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates. This can help resolve compatibility issues with audio devices.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider checking the manufacturer's website for specific troubleshooting advice related to your headphones.
