Answer 1

Hii,

Irig USB if it is Interface see on the side if it has TH/FX mode and change it and see if Input will change

Accessing settings > system > sound > input or output is in mode other than Generic USB.

If Windows detects only the output side of the USB audio device, try these supported fixes:

1. Open Device Manager and uninstall the USB audio device:
   • Find the device
   • Double-click it
   • Open the Driver tab
   • Select Uninstall Device
   • Do not select Delete the driver software for this device
2. Disconnect the device and reconnect it to a different USB port. For USB audio devices, the issue might not occur on another port.
3. If the device has a manufacturer installer, install the device-specific driver first, then connect the device. This avoids a case where Windows first loads the default USB audio 2.0 driver and later replaces it, which can cause the device to stop working correctly.
4. In Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone, make sure microphone access is enabled. Then check Settings > System > Sound > Input to see whether the input device appears.
5. If the laptop is limiting USB power, try:
   • Plugging the laptop into external power
   • Disconnecting other unused USB devices
   • If the USB device supports external power, connect that power source

If the device still shows only output and never appears under input, install the manufacturer’s driver package before reconnecting it, then test again on another USB port.

• USB audio device not playing
• Fix USB-C problems in Windows
• No audio input devices being recognized - Microsoft Q&A Specs:\nWindows 11 Pro\n10.0.26100\nAMD Ryzen 7 7700 8-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz\nASUSTeK Motherboard PRIME B650M-A AX6\nI woke up this morning after KB5065426 had installed, and my audio input devices weren't working. Essentially I have a FIFINE USB microphone, it does not use its own drivers, it is plug-and-play. I also have Focusrite Scarlett Solo digital audio interface, also USB and plug-and-play, with no drivers required. I woke up and found out Windows does not see my devices. They connect to power and light up (RGB lights on the fifine) but all connective functionality is non-existant. They do not appear in audio devices, or device manager, or as drivers, or in Realtek. They do not make a connection sound when they are plugged in or unplugged, it acts basically as if I plugged in a USB cable with no device. (No input devices found)
