    I want to use only my headset mic, not my laptop's mic array


    I purchased a Razer Kraken X Headset during Cyber Monday and it thankfully came in yesterday. Unfortunately, when I tried connecting my headset, my laptop only recognized the output audio and not the input. When looking into it, I noticed that the only mic that it detected was a "mic array," and not the headset mic itself. I've tried every possible fix for it (updating drivers, going onto control panel/device manager and editing stuff, enabling mic on applications, etc.) however, my laptop only recognizes the headset as an output audio. No problems with the headset's output sound quality whatsoever, in fact I'm very pleased with the sound output, but the mic of this headset is not recognizable at all. I've tried all the playback I could, lightly tapping my headset mic to see if it changed in anyway, but it only detects the mic array.

    I use an Acer Aspire 5 model name A515-55-582M and I know that this problem isn't based around hardware. I am able to use my karaoke mic properly with my laptop's audio jack, and the headset's mic works perfectly on my phone/ipad/family computer. I know my laptop isn't a gaming one by any means, but my mic is super important because I am a dungeon master who uses discord to communicate. Any help would be great

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this mocalattes

    May I know if you're able to test the microphone on a PC?

    In that way we can know if Windows or a third party app in your PC is causing the problem

    In the meantime we can try to isolate the problem a bit more:

    A. Open task manager > select the startup tab > disable all the programs listed there temporarily

    Restart the PC and try again

    B. Do a clean boot in your PC and try again

    C. (It may not be directly related, but it is worth covering this possibility)

    Create a new local administrator user in your PC and try from there

    Have Microsoft made a case for Kinect 2.0?

    Of course the headset mic could send it to the Kinect instead of using its own four mic array, meaning the kinect would have to be plugged in so its DSP etc can be used. :) just a posibility

    Question about Headsets and Xbox One.

    I use a BenQ Monitor with HDMI...I also have my Astros A40 plugged in and using my headset for Audio....only thing at this time is the Mic will not work with the Headset....You can use the Headset/Mic they gave for your sound and Mic as well until the adapter
    is released.
