If the microphone does not work, what should I do? On Windows XP, 7, 8, 10, laptop and Skype

Have you just connected the microphone to your PC, and the system does not “see” it or the device itself does not respond to your manipulations? Does the laptop’s built-in recording device stop functioning suddenly or after an update? This is still not a sign that it is specifically defective. In the article we will give detailed answers to the question: what to do if the microphone does not work, for different cases that take place.

Important: before solving the problem

The most likely reason why the connected microphone does not work is that it was not connected to the PC correctly. To get started, you need to remove the device from the connector as the manufacturer advises: disconnect and disconnect from the PC or use the "Safe Removal" (call - RMB on the device icon in the lower task bar).
