So I bought a Maono PD300x and have had no issues using it for the past month or two. Yesterday, after my laptop crashed and restarted while I was using the mic, I noticed that the mic stopped picking up any audio for some reason. My laptop still detects that it's connected via the Type-C USB. It shows up in the mic settings, the audio output and input settings, shows up in other programs as an available mic, device manager, etc. It even shows up on Maono Link, and the volume monitor there seems to react to me speaking into it or making sounds. However, when I actually try to use the mic to record or in voice chats, it doesn't pick up any audio. Just silent.
Here's everything I've tried:
- Unchecked exclusive mode in the mic properties.
- Uninstalled device via device manager, unplugged mic, restarted laptop, plugged mic again.
- Uninstalled Maono Link and reinstalled the latest version.
- I've tried plugging it into different USB ports, still nothing.
I'm not really sure what to do anymore and would appreciate any help or feedback on this.
