Scenario
A user still hears audio through a USB headset, but the microphone vanishes from app input choices after an update.
Recommended Resolution Path
- Check Windows sound input devices and privacy permissions outside the meeting app first.
- Review whether the headset enumerated as a new device after firmware or driver changes.
- Test the headset on another USB port and another workstation to rule out hardware failure.
- If only one app misses the mic, clear its cached device preferences and retest.
Technician Notes
Document what changed, what confirmed the fix, and whether the issue points to a broader standards gap worth addressing for the client.
