For the past month or so, my microphone has not worked. What I mean by it hasn't worked is, I hear a bunch of static and can only hear myself a TINY bit if I turn the levels all the way up, and the boost all the way up. By doing that, i'd be able to hear myself a tiny bit through the static.

My microphone has worked completely fine until last month, I logged on my computer, and tried to talk on Teamspeak/Discord and it just wasn't working at all. I've tried talking to Microsoft, but they seem clueless on the issue, and I've tried Googling a bunch of fixes, but I've also found no answers to my problem as it seems really specific for me.

I've tried troubleshooting my audio devices a multiple of times, reinstalled my audio drivers, checked if it was any updates, tuned the levels/boosting on the microphone, and checked to see if Windows was recognizing my microphone which it is. I've also tried 4 different microphones, all of which has lead me to the same result. I am really clueless as to what to do, I can't really talk to people without my microphone on here, so any help is appreciated. I'm willing to try anything.
 


I'm using apple headphones most of the time for headphones/mic, and if not those i'll use the Razer Kraken
 


Are both the apple headphones and the Razer Kraken having this issue, or just one of them? Just asking because in your original post it implies that this issue is only happening on one device :)

Yes both of them are having the issue

 
Are you plugging them directly into your computer? Or do you have something such as a keyboard that has a USB/audio jack on the side of it and you plug it into there?
 


Plugging it into my computer directly
