Why Doesn't My Headset Mic Work & How to Fix it (3.5mm audio cable)
So the microphone on your 3.5mm wired headset isn't working when you plug it into your computers headphone jack? The sound comes through the headphones just fine but your mic isn't being recognized? Thankfully there's a very simple solution to this problem. What many people do not know is there are several different types of 3.5mm audio connectors. In this video I show you how to recognize the difference between a 4 pin TRRS connector and a 3 pin TRS connector, explain what the difference between the two of them is and of course show you what you need in order to get your headset mic working on your PC. Alrighty then, let's dive on in!
Here are the links to the adapter cables I used in this video...
If you need a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter, this is the one you want- https://amzn.to/2Ym1gnb
If you need a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter then this is the one you want - https://amzn.to/3bV7w9d
If you believe your mic quit working due to a Windows 10 update like I mention at the beginning of this video here is one solution that may help get it working again. https://youtu.be/u5wjtoDWDQ0
One other thing you may want to try if neither this video or changing your Windows Privacy settings works is changing your settings in Sounds in Windows Control Panel. In this video I walk you through how to do that and share a couple other tips. https://youtu.be/kGVTfBqOz6o
