Troubleshooting

Microphone not detected by the computer.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the microphone and the computer. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer. Check if the microphone is selected as the default input device in your system's sound settings.

No audio output when speaking.

Verify that the microphone is not muted (check the tap-to-mute sensor and LED indicator). Ensure the correct input device is selected in your operating system and application settings. Check the microphone's volume level in your software.

Poor audio quality or background noise.

Ensure the cardioid pattern is facing your voice. Minimize ambient noise in your recording environment. Check for any physical obstructions near the microphone capsule. Ensure the microphone is not placed on a surface that vibrates.

Tap-to-mute sensor is unresponsive.

Try unplugging and replugging the USB cable. Restart the connected device. If the issue persists, contact HyperX support.
