Microphone problem
I have a Dell desktop, WIN 10, OS Build 10.0 19041.388. I have speakers, which work correctly. I have a microphone which doesn’t work properly. It is plugged into the rear mike port ( 3.5 mm pink). I have speakers and mike enable. I have “allow access to the microphone on this device” – on. I have “allow apps to access your microphone” – on. I have Skype and Voice Recorder turned on.
But the mike does not capture whatever I say. I can even scream into it. I get no output. I checked the speakers by playing some videos to confirm they work. They do. I have updated the driver for the microphone. No help.
The mike icon does appear in the notification area.
I don’t know what else to do. BTW. The Mike and speakers were from a computer several operating systems ago. Maybe XP, or before. When I try the mike on Win 7, I scream in. On playback, full volume on speakers, I can just barely hear my test.
The Mike is Realtek(R) Audio. Driver provided by Microsoft
The speakers are Realtek(R) Audio. Device manufacturer is Microsoft
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
