Enable Laptop Microphone Windows 10

I bought these for our company to do at home recorded videos on their laptops with better audio quality than the built in laptop microphone. I just tested it and compared it to the laptop mic and there is a very noticeable increase in quality when using the usb lav. At first it was way too over modulated but then I realized I needed to tweak the mic settings in windows 10. First, plug it in and let it download the drivers automatically. Then, type the word sound in the windows 10 search bar and click sound settings. In there, go to the microphone area and make sure the usb lav is the active one selected. Once it is, click on device properties and in that menu adjust the volume slider until you have a proper microphone level that isn't topping out too much to the right on the sound level bar. I put mine around 40-50 but it depends on how close the mic is to you mouth.

I wanted to enable voice commands with Windows 10 on my PC. I needed a mic, but most that I found initially were intended for podcasters or recording live music into a PC or laptop. In other words, too large and expensive for my needs. Yet, I wanted a mic of good enough quality that Cortana would accurately hear voice commands - even at a little distance. The Meteorite Mic has worked great so far, and it has a really small footprint on my desk. I use it to launch programs, search my local PC or the web. I imagine I'll find more ways to benefit from voice input over time. The brief instructions that came with it were sufficient to enable the mic in the Windows 10 settings.

Worked great with my Windows 10 laptop. I did not need to use the Driver DVD.

This is just what was needed for more flexibility during presentations. Works great with my Windows 10 laptop.

Be using it to connect a laptop to Ethernet and work works without any issues in Windows 10.

Tested with Shure SM58S mic on windows 10 PC/Laptop. Works with both.

I bought it to upgrade our Samsung laptop. It fits and I was able to install Windows 10 with no problems.

This is a reasonably priced web cam (with microphone). I plugged it in, Windows 10 promptly downloaded the driver and it worked immediately. It provides a good and clear picture. I have it clipped to the top of my monitor, which works well. The only shortcoming is that it has a fixed field of view (65 degrees), which is significantly wider than I would like - it captures too much of my home office. After reviewing the other available webcams, it appears that the only way to get a narrower field of view is to buy a webcam with a zoom, which I may do at some point. I have no complaints and would get one again.

Wanted to say that this microphone is exactly what I was looking for. Works Excellent when using Cortana, on Windows 10. Easy to manage, and so small, looks like a giant button hiding. For the price, cannot go wrong.

I already had the VLC media player ap installed on my windows 10 laptop, so when I plugged this into my USB port straight from the box, it was recognized and functioned immediately. If your computer doesn't have a driver, Transcend provides one free, but you must download one in order to use external drives--perhaps that's why some users claim their player wouldn't work?
