6. If you have seen green bars rising while you spoke that means your microphone is properly configured.

7. If you didn't see any green bars while you spoke into the mic, keep following the instructions.
8. See if you can recognize which one of the devices in the list is your microphone. Perform the next instructions for that one. If that doesn't work or you're not sure which device is your microphone, perform the instructions for all the devices one by one.
9. Click on the relevant device to highlight it, and then click on "Set Default".

What To Do If You Don't See The Green Bars Rising On Any Of The Devices?
Try Clicking the right mouse button inside the "Recording" tab (Follow steps 1-4 if you forgot how to get there)
and checking if the words "Show Disabled Devices" have a V next to them.
If they don't , click on them to make that V appear.

This might add extra devices to the list. Perform steps 5-13 on those devices too, until you see the green bars when talking into the mic.
