Ableton doesn't recognize my microphone

Post by lemonspice » Thu Jan 19, 2023 2:30 pm

I have Windows 10 and Ableton Live 10, when I go to preferences and audio I have no option to select my microphone. Except when I change my driver type to the one that doesn't work (Ableton makes no sound with that one selected) and there, though available, the microphone is greyed out. My PC recognizes my microphone just fine and I can record audio on other programs.

you could try setting up the mic using ASIO4ALL as the driver...

I've downloaded ASIO4ALL and it does work a bit, because with it selected as a driver, I can set up my microphone and record audio. Unfortunately with ASIO4ALL as the driver I don't hear audio, all sound is gone.
