Hello all,
Yesterday I had an issue with the microphone on my HyperX Cloud II. I was chatting away and suddenly all input stopped. The microphone was still showing in windows devices but with not input or whatsoever.
I fiddled about with the headphones and found that the cable is damaged so, I assumed that this is why. I bought another pair of headphones, plugged them in and nothing again. A windows update helped for about 20 minutes but then, the issue started again.
I tried through the USB pass through provided, tried every USB port the PC has. Even tried the jack microphone and headphone setup but nothing works although the microphone is shown as working on the system.
I have been through numerous Microsoft posts to fix through troubleshooting but it shows no issues and I am running out of ideas, currently planning to maybe reinstall windows?
Any ideas?
Could the PC somehow managed to damage the new microphone? I don't know if that's even possible. Maybe the motherboard?
Funny thing is, the microphone from a webcam works just fine
EDIT: Format didn't help so I guess it must be the motherboard ?
