New headphones and microphone, but the microphone is not working?

Question

Hello. I have a big problem. I used to use a microphone that plugs into the back of the computer. Now that I bought new equipment (headphones and microphone). I plug it in and nothing works except the headphones. Could someone tell me what's wrong? or maybe someone will explain to me from 0....

You connect a microphone to the pink input on the music card

Then double click on the speaker icon in the tray
Options >> properties
At the bottom, select MIC
click on OK
and you will see a slider appear
Set it to MAX and uncheck MUTE

Mark the microphone boost by 20dB in advanced (boost microphone).

Maybe the microphone switch is broken or the microphone. Do you have a meter?

Szymciosek · Accepted Answer

No, I doubt anybody is thinking or maybe damaged?

And what color did you connect this microphone to? Remember : -green> output to speakers / amplifier / headphones -blue> line input - pink> microphone

And you don't have other mixers in the system where you could set the mic to min?

Then browse around in this 3D Configurator. Perhaps you have the mic input set up as an output to a 5.1 system and that's why it doesn't work. Just set the number of speakers there to 2 or stereo.

Then, search in the audio settings, there must be an option to deselect the microphone input from the amplifier output.

In the control panel / sounds and audio devices / in the voice and audio tab, set the default devices to C-Media and do a hardware test. And in Skype itself, the microphone is responsive? Because in C-Media the microphone only worked in the programs themselves. In Skype, also set the default devices to C-Media.

Please provide us with the exact model of the motherboard. and if possible - a microphone model.

And connect the microphone to blue and change on the card that it is connected there - it will eliminate the possibly damaged socket.

Well, why do you make posts when the topic is simple:

Your new microphone is crazy and so much or not for the People's Republic of China it will work with this music card, which I do not believe in too much.

Because I personally hooked up the electric guitar to the microphone input and play it.

For this I have SB Audigy 2 and I do not need any effects because I have everything in my computer.

Borrow headphones with a microphone from someone and check it to be sure

After all, this definitely points to badly installed music card drivers - uninstall them in safe mode, then clean the registry and install the latest from the manufacturer's website.

So tell me why the microphone itself works for him and not with the headphones?

DriverMSG · Accepted Answer

Earlier he wrote that for others this microphone works

soviet100 · Accepted Answer

Driver, that's what I meant

trance84 · Accepted Answer

And what are the drivers for this if everything works on another microphone plugged into this jack and the microphone fulfills its role?

It seems to me that something is wrong with the microphone.

But for the sake of peace and certainty, throw the whole sound from the system, reboot the system and check how it will install again if it has improved.

One more thing comes to my mind - namely, I have come across microphones that need additional power - they have a mini stereo jack like in headphones, but not all music cards support these microphones.
So the question - on what equipment was the unfortunate microphone tested?

trance84 · Accepted Answer

Well, the author of the post writes that he has a card: The music card is: C-Media Wave Device (Integrated)

Approx. I've already done this and it still doesn't work.

Kedziu Giz · Answer

It still doesn't work.

Kedziu Giz · Answer

There is no on / off switch on this microphone.
I have a similar problem as this gentleman.

I am asking for great help.
I need a conversation.
Maybe there is something wrong with the computer?
Hope you don't think this is the end of the topic

Kedziu Giz · Answer

I know that. :D Yes it is connected to the pink one

Kedziu Giz · Answer

You know, I have had a computer for a long time. :) I only have 3D Audio Configuration and the System ones (Speaker). :) And where can I check this mixer

Kedziu Giz · Answer

Ehh .. But it is. : / Can you download this mixer? because my friend has it and can use a microphone.

Kedziu Giz · Answer

I did the test and something like this came out: I repeat at my friend it works flawlessly.

Kedziu Giz · Answer

I've tried this before. And the socket is not damaged. Because a regular microphone (without headphones) works.

Kedziu Giz · Answer

Or maybe something is wrong? Because I am in the Control Panel / Sound and audio devices / Voice / I have "C Media Wave Device" everywhere and I can't change anything else.

PS.
I don't make any posts. Because it's my first time using this forum. Once the problem is solved then it will complete my questions.
