While looking at the events on the microphone device in Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs I see the following Device not migrated event.
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems.
While in Device Manager, I noticed an issue with one of the USB controllers.
Disabling and enabling the microphone device in Device Manager (does nothing).
Troubleshooting the device but it finds no issues (Sound Settings > Input > Troubleshoot).
The usb ports on the back of the pc (built in to the motherboard) Make sure the microphone is connected to the MIC/GUITAR jack on the.
Mic: Samson Q2U attached to my desktop via USB link.
The device is still recognized and set as the default after boot/wake, it just does not send any sound until replugging the USB. I usually replug the cord that goes into the back the mic rather than the port on the pc because I don't have to get up but have tried both and both temporarily fix the issue until the next restart/sleep. Whether on boot after a restart or wake after sleep, the USB microphone will not send any sound unless I unplug the cord and plug it back in. I have tried searching for similar issues but have not had much luck with solutions.
