I recently got a new PC running Windows 11, and I'm trying to use my headphones for gaming and Discord. I can hear perfectly fine, but my microphone isn't being detected at all. I've granted all the necessary permissions, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the audio drivers. I've tested all my headsets on other devices, and they work there. Also, this PC came with an Admin account—could that be affecting things? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Since you mentioned trying different connections, make sure your audio settings are configured correctly. Sometimes Windows might not select your mic as the default device. You can check this in the sound settings under 'Input.' Also, right-click on the volume icon in the taskbar, select 'Sounds,' go to the 'Recording' tab, and ensure your mic is enabled there!
First, let's get the basics out of the way. Is your PC a desktop or a laptop? Also, what type of headset are you using? It's important to know if it's a USB connection, a 3.5mm jack, or Bluetooth. That could make a difference in troubleshooting.
