I'm really confused about whether my headset mic is functioning properly. I recently got a pair of headphones that come with a mic, but I've noticed something odd. Even when I plug in the headphones or try muting and unmuting them, I can still record my voice, and it sounds unchanged. When I check my sound input settings, the only option I see is 'Realtek audio.' I can't figure out if I'm actually using my headset mic or if it's just defaulting to my laptop's mic.

If you're still having trouble, try using a different application to record or test the mic. Some apps can display which microphone they're using, which might help clarify things.
A quick way to check if your headset mic is working is to tap on it or cover it while recording. If you hear no difference in the audio, there could be an issue with the connection or the headset itself.
Make sure your headset is fully plugged in, and check if there are any specific drivers you need to install. Sometimes the audio settings can be a bit tricky, and your laptop might prioritize the built-in mic.
