There are a number of fixes you can try when your Windows 10 microphone
is not working. The first step is to figure out whether the issue lies
with your computer or the mic itself.
Instructions in this article apply to internal and external
microphones for Windows 10 PCs. Steps are the same regardless of your
device's manufacturer. The steps for fixing mic issues in Windows 11 are a little different.
Causes of a Computer Mic Not Working on Windows 10
If your PC mic isn't working, it could be due to several causes, including:
Conflicts between an external mic and the internal mic
Audio input is muted on your computer.
Audio input is muted on your headset.
Before you begin, it helps to test your Windows 10 microphone to try and narrow down the cause. You'll likely uncover the solution as soon as you identify the reason for your problem.
Try these solutions in order until your computer mic is working properly:
Run the Windows 10 troubleshooter. Windows 10 has a number of built-in troubleshooting tools. If you're having mic issues, right-click the Speakers icon in the taskbar and choose Troubleshoot sound problems to have Windows search for potential solutions.
Look for a Mute button. External mics may have physical volume buttons,
so make sure your device isn't muted or turned down too low.
Check the device manager. To make sure your PC can detect your microphone, open the Windows Device Manager and expand the Audio inputs and outputs section, then select your mic and look under the Device Status section.
If you don't see your mic listed, unplug it, and then plug it back in
again. If it still doesn't appear, then the problem lies with the
connection.
Check your connections. If possible, use a different audio connector cable and try plugging the mic into a different USB port on the same device. If it still doesn't work, try using it with a different computer.
If your mic works with other devices, then the problem could be the
ports on your Windows PC. However, if it won't connect to other
computers, then you probably need a new mic.
Check individual app settings. Certain apps, such as Skype,
have their own audio input options. If you're having audio problems in a
specific app, look for a settings menu where you can choose the audio
input.
Change your Windows sound settings. Look under Input in the Windows 10 sound settings to make sure the mic you want to use is selected and enabled.
Increase the mic volume. In the sound settings, select Device properties under your mic selection to make sure the volume on your mic is turned on.
Disable other Bluetooth devices. When using a wireless microphone, other
Bluetooth connections can interfere with the signal. If your Bluetooth isn't working on Windows, turn off Bluetooth on any other connected devices one-by-one to see if that helps.
Update the hardware drivers.
If you can see your microphone in the Device Manager, yet it's still
not detecting sound, check to see if drivers are up-to-date. Most
external PC microphones don't require any drivers, but you may want to
check the instruction manual to see if there's any additional software
you have to install. You can also do a Google search for drivers or use a
free driver updater tool.
Check your app permissions. Windows updates can sometimes reset app settings. If you're having mic problems with a certain app, go to the Windows 10 app permissions settings and make sure the app has permission to access your microphone.
FAQ
How do I test my microphone in Windows 10?
To test your microphone in Windows 10, right-click the Speaker icon in the task bar and select Sounds > Recording. If your microphone appears in the list as Disabled, right-click the microphone and select Enable.

How do I set the default microphone in Windows 10?
Select Start > Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Sound > Recording. Select the microphone you want to use, then select Set default.
Incognito mode keeps all your sensitive browsing private
With Chrome's incognito mode, you can safely peruse the web without
the fear of having all of your information saved to your computer. To
help keep your history private on your laptop, smartphone or Chromebook, we've compiled two simple steps to teach you how to use incognito mode in Chrome.
Whatever the reason may be, we all visit websites on our laptop, tablet,
or smartphone that we wouldn't necessarily want in our browser history.
Sure, you can delete your browsing history to ensure that no one sees
the sites you've visited. However, it's much easier to simply ensure
that no traces of your browsing experience ever appear on your
computer.
Here's how to use incognito mode in Chrome:
Step 1: Open Chrome and click the three-dotted icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Step 2: Click New Incognito Window and start browsing.
Alternatively, you can press Ctrl+ Shift + N to bring up a new tab in incognito mode without entering the Chrome settings menu.
Once Incognito mode is enabled, Chrome will not keep a record of the
sites you've visited. However, any downloaded material and bookmarks
will be saved. In those cases, you'll want to keep that stuff confined
to your main browsing pages. Even though incognito windows will keep
Chrome from saving information about your browsing history, keep in mind
that it can't stop other programs from doing so.
Just don't use the feature and expect it to keep your browsing history a secret from your office's IT department.
This article describes how to connect your Windows 11 device to your iPhone or Android’s internet connection using the USB tethering
feature. You’ll find detailed steps for enabling tethering on mobile
devices and several tips for what to do when the internet connection
isn’t working correctly.
How to Enable USB Tethering on Windows 11
Here’s what you need to do to enable USB tethering on your smartphone to
access its internet connection on your Windows 11 laptop, computer,
tablet, or two-in-one device such as a Microsoft Surface.
Turn off Wi-Fi on your computer so it won’t connect to any other networks. The fastest way to do this is to select the Wi-Fi icon from the taskbar. Another way is through Settings > Network & internet
Plug your smartphone into your Windows 11 device via a compatible USB cable.
Turn on your iPhone's hotspot if your PC will be using its internet connection: Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot, or Settings > Personal Hotspot. Then, toggle on Allow Others to Join.
The steps to enable an Android hotspot are a little different: Go to Settings > Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering. Toggle on USB tethering.
For Android, the exact phrasing of the menu items differ between
devices and operating systems, but it should still be easy to find.
Search through Settings for hotspot if you're having trouble.
The Ethernet icon should appear in the taskbar, near the clock, once the
connection is made. You can also check the USB tethering is working
properly by opening Settings > Network & internet.
Windows 11 doesn’t have an icon or switch for Ethernet and wired
internet connections in the Action Center like it does for Wi-Fi.
USB Tethering Requirements
Sharing your phone's internet via USB tethering is a feature supported
by Windows, iOS, and Android devices for a long while now, so it’s
likely that your devices support it.
Here's what you need to make it work:
An active internet connection on your smartphone. Your regular 4G or 5G mobile service should be fine.
A compatible USB cable. The USB charging cable supplied with your smartphone should work.
A USB port on your PC. You may need to unplug a mouse or keyboard to free up a USB port if you don’t have any spare ones.
Windows 11 USB Tethering Tips and Fixes
If you’re having trouble getting USB tethering to work properly in Windows 11, there are several things you can try.
Connect your iPhone to your Windows 11 computer. Download iTunes to your computer
and open it while your iPhone is connected. Follow the instructions
on-screen to connect your devices. You'll need to do this even if you’ve
previously made the connection in an older version of Windows.
Open iTunes. Sometimes opening the iTunes app on your Windows 11 device can trigger the connection to an iPhone if it’s not being detected.
Edit Android's USB preferences. Go to Settings > Connected devices > USB, and make sure USB tethering is chosen. This won't work if a different option is selected.
Update the operating system on both devices. Updating Windows 11, Android, and iOS can fix a host of problems and bugs.
Update your drivers in Windows 11. Manually updating Windows drivers has been known to fix USB tethering issues.
To set up and use USB tethering in Windows 10, connect your iPhone or Android phone to your Windows 10 device with a USB cable. On an iPhone, turn on your Personal Hotspot; on an Android, turn on USB Tethering. Go to your Windows 10 device's Network and Internet settings to verify the connection.
How do I increase my USB tethering internet speed?
To increase your USB tethering internet speed, try keeping your phone
as still as possible to create a more stable internet connection. Also,
use a metered connection with a data limit, make sure you're using the latest USB generation, and use a manufacturer-recommended USB cable.
How do I use USB tethering on a PS4?
Connect your Android phone directly to your PS4 via a USB cable. To change how your PS4 detects your Android device, choose Mass Storage Device instead of Media Device to allow USB tethering.
