Hi All,

I can use microphone on Mac OS side but when I go to windows no such luck :-(. What am I missing I've gone into control panels a lot of times and I don't see anything to obvious. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mark

Just wondering - did you install Bootcamp in Windows?

This is an issue with microphones that are on the same 3.5mm jack as headphones, like an inline mic on ear pods. No known for fix, no drivers that work.

A cheap $5-$15 “USB microphone adapter” fixes this easily. Even some PCs running Windows 10 need to use them since drivers are still not available for their own built in. Make sure it says Windows 10 compatible if you purchase.

Hi Kennyman,

I have bootcamp on the Windows side(control panel) and on the Mac side I have a hard drive that says "bootcamp" along with a system reserved hard drive icon. On a curious note if I get one that works thru a USB connection do all of these problems go away?
