MERGED QUESTION
Question from Wayne Richards : "Installed new video card"
Wayne Richards :
Installed Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 x video card updated the drivers now when I'm using Ventrillo.playing with friends I can hear them but my microphone keeps muting and I go to reset it it works a few seconds then mutes again Had VIA HD Audio on board audio. Checked device manager ,now it's AMD high definition audio. What can I do to keep the Microphone (Razorheadset)to stop muting?
Could you specify the exact model of headset/ audio hardware that is being used?
You should also set your audio device of your choosing to the default communication's device. Look for the speaker icon on your toolbar. Right click, select "recording devices" and ensure the headset is both the default communication's device and default audio device.
