Hi!
I have a 2 female 3 pin to 1 male 4 pin 3.5 jack adapter, with my headset and microphone plugged in.
My mic is a no name 1 dollar mic.
It worked until yesterday for like 2 years now.
I occasionally do streams and need the mic for that. I installed OBS.Live to replace OBS Studio, it worked with the studio version, and now with Live not even my PC recognises the mic.

I tested it, both the mic and the adapter works, so it's not a hardware issue.
I had the same problem a few months back but then I solved it somehow, but I just can't find the solution for this.
Also might be important, something record some sound. It is only static, and if I sream it still doesn't matter, just static.
Please help. Thanks!

OBS.Live Audio Settings: - In OBS.Live, check the audio settings to ensure that the correct microphone device is selected. - Configure the audio settings in OBS.Live for both desktop and microphone audio sources. 3. Update Audio Drivers: - Ensure that your audio drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause issues with audio devices. - Check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers for your sound card or integrated audio chip. 4. Test with Direct Connection: - If possible, test your microphone directly connected to the computer without the adapter. This can help isolate if the issue is with the adapter. 5. Check for Windows Updates: - Make sure your Windows operating system is up to date with the latest updates. Sometimes, updates can fix compatibility issues. 6. Reset OBS.Live Settings: - If the issue persists, try resetting your OBS.Live settings to default. - Backup your existing scene collections and profiles before resetting settings. 7. Microphone Quality: - Since you mentioned it is a low-cost microphone, there could be issues with its quality. Consider testing with another microphone to rule out a hardware problem. 8. External USB Sound Card: - If your microphone continues to have issues, consider using an external USB sound card. This device can sometimes help with audio input/output issues. 9. Contact OBS.Live Support: - If the problem persists after trying these steps, consider reaching out to OBS.Live support for further assistance. By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the microphone recognition issues in OBS.Live.
