Question Microphone is detected as headphone

[Aswinth Raj]

Hi,

I am trying to connect an external microphone to my laptop. The laptop model is Dell G3-15 3590 and the microphone model is Boya BY-M1. On checking device manager I can notice the microphone being detected as a headphone.


I check the sound settings and found that my device is under playback and not recording. How can i solve this problem?

install the latest audio drivers from Dell

Do you use the mic with the switch on the power pack set to off/smartphone or camera?

Batteries installed correctly?
