Hello, I recently installed Windows 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro with BootCamp.


Everything went smooth and the reason was that I wanted to be able to use Streamlabs on my computer whilst broadcasting my Xbox screen with the Xbox app. Everything was going fine until I noticed that my headset mic (Turtle Beach Recon 50x) which has a microphone attached was not being recognized by my Windows. The headphones themselves were being recognized but not the microphone, it seems it only picks up my laptop's microphone (which has too much white noise to be used).


I then restarted my laptop and switched over to Mac and my headset & microphone were working perfectly. It seems it is only an issue with Windows.


Please offer any advice that may be helpful. Thank you in advance.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Your TRRS headset will have a tough time on Windows-on-Mac. If you can, consider a USB adapter for your headset to connect it to the Mac.
