The microphone isn’t working (wired or Bluetooth)Updated 11 days ago

Why this happens: Mic may be blocked, misconfigured, or unsupported by the adapter or app.

How to fix it:

  1. Wired: Use the right adapter: Ensure you’re using a TRRS-compatible adapter that supports mic input.
  2. Bluetooth: Select headset profile: Your device must connect using HFP or Hands-Free mode to enable the mic.
  3. App settings: Grant mic permissions and check input selection in Zoom/Skype/etc.
  4. Inspect for blockage: Make sure the mic hole is not covered or clogged.
  5. Test on another device: If the mic works elsewhere, it's likely a settings issue on the original device.
