    I have an Asus zen book duo, and the only microphone device it ever picks up or shows is available is the microphone array from.I used to have a tonor microphone that it would not pick up but I thought that was an issue with the mic, but now after 2 sets of headphones it still is not picking up any external microphone other than the laptop's built in one.I have tried updating/uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, I've checked sound settings and device manager but nothing seems to fix this issue. no external device even shows up as an option to use as an input device.I have truly tried every g

    My laptop microphone isn't detected as an audio input device when I plug in headphones.

    I have been using a pair of bluetooth headphones for the past couple of weeks with my laptop. I use the audio output of the headphones along with my laptop's built in microphone as it is better quality. Today however, windows stopped recognizing my laptop microphone as an audio input while my headphones are connected. I am able to use the microphone whenever the headphones are not connected. My microphone input is listed as "Microphone Array (AMD Audio Device)" and remains listed while the headphones are connected, but produces no sound and is not detected by programs like Sound Recorder.

    It was working fine until I attempted to disable "Handsfree Telephony" to stop the audio quality from lowering. After I re-enabled this setting, I ran into the issue.
     
  3. External microphone not showing in the Recording tab

    My Windows 10 laptop is not recognizing any external microphones. I have two headsets: a Bluetooth one and one for an audio jack. Both headsets work correctly on other devices. When I connect the headsets to my computer, I can hear audio, but the microphones
    do not work.

    Here are the steps I've taken so far:

    • Updated drivers (they were already up to date)
    • From Sound Settings, headsets do not appear as options for the input device
    • Ran the microphone troubleshooter - headsets do not appear as options
    • From Control Panel > Sound > Recording, headsets do not appear as options. I have selected the disabled and disconnected devices options.
    • From Microphone Privacy, all apps have access to the microphone.
    That's everything I found online to fix this problem. Any suggestions?
