[SOLVED] Mic detected, but no input (Windows 10, Manjaro Linux)

[mpstauber]

Hello,

My PC does not receive input from the microphone. I have tried both a small separate mic, and using an app on my Smartphone to make it function as a mic through the audio jack. I have tried both front and rear MIC input. I have tried windows 10 and linux, both detect a device, but there is no level.

I remember at one point my MIC input was working, but it is not working anymore. I'm pretty sure it's not an issue with the microphone itself (brand-new, works with smartphone) and not an OS/driver issue, since I tried both windows and linux with the same result.

I already tried reinstalling drivers, checking the MIC privacy setting etc.


Is it possible that my MOBO mic input is somehow broken (even though a mic is detected)?

Thanks in advance!

Could be a lot of different reasons, check the input volume make sure it isn't muted. The cable might be defective, or the mic itself.

Thanks for your reply, however, the MIC is not defective, I can route it to my PC using WO Mic app. I have already checked the input volume, that is not the issue.

Edit: It just turned out the plug/connector is the wrong one (4CHN), I attached one of the adaptors that came with the MIC and it works now...
