I can't tell just by looking, but it's possible that my computer doesn't have the right kind of headphone jack (even though the icon next to the jack shows a headset instead of just headphones). I looked in my list of devices & made sure that disabled devices were shown as well, and my headset mic was nowhere to be seen. Only when enabled can Audacity "see" the mic & record from it. how-to-enable-all-recording-devices-in-windows Have a look in Windows recording devices for the headset mic and enable it. Any clue how to make it pick up the headset's microphone? The microphone isn't in the devices menu at the top, and it's not within the Preferences > Devices menu either. When I have my headset plugged into my Windows 10 laptop's headphone jack, Audacity recognizes the headphones and plays sound through them, but it won't pick up the attached microphone and take sound from it.
