    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    To be able to assist you better, please clarify the following:

    • Are you connecting the microphone directly to the PC using its 3.5mm jack, or via an adapter?
    • Is the PC audio working normally? Can you hear audio from music and videos?
    • Also, please confirm whether you have Dell Audio, Waves MaxxAudio Pro, or Realtek Audio Console installed on your PC. You can find them by opening the Start menu and searching for the app name.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Try this in order:

    1. Confirm Windows detects the microphone
      • Open Start > Settings > System > Sound.
      • In Input, check whether the Boya mic appears.
      • Select the microphone and run Start test. Speak normally, then Stop test and Play the sample.
      • If the test works here, the mic is working in Windows and the next step is to make sure OBS uses the same input device.
    2. Set it as the input device in Windows
      • In Start > Settings > System > Sound, under Input, select the microphone to use.
      • If the mic is not selected as the active recording device, apps such as OBS may not receive audio.
    3. Check microphone permissions
      • On Windows 11: go to Start > Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone.
      • Turn on Microphone access.
      • Turn on Let apps access your microphone.
      • Turn on Let desktop apps access your microphone.
      • On Windows 10: go to Start > Settings > Privacy > Microphone and enable microphone access for apps and desktop apps.
    4. Check the mic level
      • In Start > Settings > System > Sound, select the microphone.
      • Increase the Input volume slider if the level is too low.
      • Test again and confirm Windows shows input activity.
    5. Disable audio enhancements if there is no signal
      • Go to Start > Settings > System > Sound.
      • Select the microphone under Input > Device Properties > Additional device properties.
      • On Enhancements, select Disable all enhancements or Disable all sound effects.
      • If that option is not there, open Advanced and clear Enable audio enhancements.
      • Test the microphone again.
    6. Reinstall or update the audio driver
      • Warning: uninstalling audio drivers temporarily removes sound devices until Windows reinstalls them.
      • Right-click Start > Device Manager.
      • Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
      • Right-click the audio device and select Uninstall device.
      • If shown, select the checkbox to remove/delete the driver, then uninstall.
      • Restart the PC.
      • Return to Device Manager and use Scan for hardware changes if needed.
      • Then right-click the audio driver and select Update driver.
    7. If Windows still does not detect the mic
      • Reconnect the microphone securely and test again.
      • If possible, test the Boya mic on another device. If it does not work there either, the microphone itself may be faulty.

    If the microphone works in Windows Sound test but not in OBS, Windows input is functioning and OBS must be set to the same recording device.
