Why is my microphone not working?

First, check the simple things. Is your mic plugged in correctly? Many headsets have a small mute button on the wire. Please check that also.

After that, you must check computer settings. Go to the Sound Settings. Make sure your microphone is selected as the input device and the volume is up. A very important step is checking privacy. In Windows or Mac settings, you have to give apps permission to use your microphone. This is a common problem.

If still not working, you can try updating the audio driver. Lastly, try your microphone on another computer. This will tell you if the device itself is having some issue. Hope this is helping you.
