Why is my computer not recognizing my microphone or headset after a driver update?

Check your sound settings
Make sure your microphone and headset are set correctly in your sound settings.
Adjust your microphone or headset settings
Check that the microphone or headset volume is up, and un-mute yourself if necessary.
Unplug and re-plug your microphone or headset
Turning it off and on again can reset the device’s connection.
Try a different port
If your microphone or headset is plugged into the wrong port, it may be preventing the connection.
Re-install the driver
If all else fails, try to re-install the driver for your microphone or headset.
