pure zenith Razer kraken

what OS do you use

#

if windows go to sound settings and select the headset mic

#

it may also have something similar with the hyperx cloud 2 where there is a physical switch that mutes the mic on the headset or cable

#

#

wind vessel if windows go to sound settings and select the headset mic

#

And in discord settings you go here.

#

#

and change the input device to the microphone you want to use

#

@pure zenith let me know if you still need help by pinging me

pure zenith Aug 31, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

Is that the reason why the mic doesn’t work cuz the headset works

wind vessel Aug 31, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

#

Like the headset audio doesn’t work and stuff

wind vessel Aug 31, 2023, 4:16 AM

#

I’m pretty sure it physically completes the circuit

pure zenith Aug 31, 2023, 4:18 AM

#

So idk I legit tried every 3.5mm hole that’s in my pc but either audio/mic work
