I disconnected my heaphones from my pc earlier and now after my microphone isn’t being added as a device that has been connected to the pc anymore. (my microphone is apart of the headphones)

I’ve tried to add the device before you say it and it did not pick the microphone up at all I want my microphone to be working If anybody knows how to fix this it would be very appreciated if you can help me with this.

have you tried restarting your computer? it might remember then

yeah it still does not recognise the microphone there is a ‘mic in’ port located at the back of the pc itself though but I don’t think thats why its not picking up my microphone.

is there also an audio out port and then a regular port? i used to have my headset plugged into just the audio out port instead of the combined one and the mic didn’t work then
