how to fix microphone not working in windows 11 i have wireless earbuds connected

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to microphone not working in windows 11 have wireless earbuds connected.

Firstly try uninstall 3rd party anti-virus and install latest update.

If your microphone isn't detected after updating Windows 10, you may need to give your apps permission to use it.

To let apps access the microphone, select Start ,then select Settings > Privacy > Microphone . Select Change, then turn on Allow apps to access your microphone.

After allowing access to the microphone, you can choose which Microsoft Store apps can access these features under Choose which Microsoft Store apps can access your microphone, and give access to non-Microsoft-Store desktop apps by ensuring that the switch beneath Allow desktop apps to access your microphone is set to On.

Also try update related driver

1. Locate the Microphone driver
2. Right click on it and select "Update Driver".
3. Restart your computer.

Check if the microphone is properly connected to your computer. Ensure that it is plugged into the correct port and that the cable is not damaged.

Check if the microphone is enabled in your computer's sound settings. Right-click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select "Sounds". Go to the "Recording" tab and check if the microphone is listed and enabled.

Try using a different microphone or headset to see if the issue is with the microphone itself.

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Molly
