Troubleshooting audio

My device is not available in the list.
If you don't see the device you want to use in the list, it may be disconnected or disabled in system settings.
 
1. Try re-connecting the device.
 
2. If that didn't help, right-click the sound icon in the Windows notification area and choose Recording Devices from the pop-up menu. The Sound settings window will open.
 
3. Look for your device in the list:
  • If the device is working correctly, it should be marked with a green checkmark.
  • If you cannot find the device in the list, right-click anywhere in the list and make sure that the options Show Disabled Devices and Show Disconnected Devices are selected.
  • If you still cannot find the device, download a driver for this device from the manufacturer's website and install it. This should help your system detect the device.
 
4. Try enabling the device:
  • If the device is listed as Not Plugged In, try plugging in the device again.
  • If the device is listed as Disabled, right-click the device and choose Enable.
