It sounds like you're experiencing issues with your headset microphone not producing any sound while gaming on your PC. This problem can be frustrating, but there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try before considering sending the headset back. Here are some common solutions to fix microphone issues on a PC:

Steps to Fix Microphone Issues:​

1. Check Hardware:
   • Ensure that your headset is properly connected to the correct ports on your PC.
   • Check if there are any physical damages to the headset or its cables.
   []Set Microphone as Default Device:
   • Right-click on the volume icon in the taskbar and select "Sounds."
   • Go to the "Recording" tab and set your headset microphone as the default device.
   []Adjust Microphone Settings:
   • Right-click on the volume icon in the taskbar and select "Open Sound settings."
   • Under the "Input" section, select your headset microphone and adjust the volume levels.
   []Update Audio Drivers:
   • Outdated or missing audio drivers can cause microphone issues. Update your audio drivers through the Device Manager or the manufacturer's website.
   []Check Privacy Settings:
   • Make sure that apps have permission to access your microphone. Go to Settings > Privacy > Microphone and check the app permissions.
   []Test on Another Device:
   • To determine if the issue is with the headset or the PC, try using the headset on another device to see if the microphone works.
   []Run Troubleshooters:
   • Windows has built-in troubleshooters that can help identify and fix sound and hardware issues. Run the "Recording Audio" troubleshooter.
2. Check Application Settings:
   • Ensure that the application you're using recognizes the headset microphone as the input device.

     Additional Tips:​

     • Restart your PC after making any changes to apply the settings.
     • Try using a different USB port or audio jack on your PC.
