What we’re going to talk about here is very easy to understand, and equally as easy to accomplish, so let’s do this. 1] Check device settings for your microphone
Bear in mind that your Astro A50 microphone might be disabled, so we have to enable it if such is the case. So, here’s what we’re going to do, click on the Windows Key + R which should bring up the Run dialog box. Inside the box, type control then hit the Enter key. Doing this should launch the Control Panel. The next step, then, is to click on Hardware and Sound, and select Sound from the list. A new window should pop up, so from here choose the Recording tab, and select Show Disabled Devices.
Next, go on ahead an right-click on Headset Microphone and select Enable from the options given to you. Right-click it once more and choose Set as Default Device, then finally, click on OK, restart your computer, and check to see if your mic is working properly. 2] Troubleshoot your hardware If your Astro A50 headset is still not working after attempting the above options, then chances are we might be dealing with a hardware problem. Please plug the headset in another port on your computer to figure out if the problem is related to an issue with the hardware of your PC. Now, what you can do next, is to test the headset on another computer. This should tell you if your PC is the main issue overall. At the end of the day, if everything here doesn’t help, then the chances of your Astro A50 being defective is quite high. Consider returning it to the vendor, or purchase another brand to be on the safe side.
