Whichever is the case, we\u2019ll consider it in subsequent writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Incorrect Microphone or Sound Configuration<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is often always the case when you\u2019ve just got your headset, or just installed the program you want to use it with. It also happens if you\u2019ve never been able to use the microphone feature of your PC since you got it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To solve it, you\u2019ll want to make some adjustments to the microphone and sound settings on your system so it can be compatible with external mics.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Incorrect Razer Synapse Configuration<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the first connection of your Nari Essential headset, you\u2019ll have the software automatically installed which will handle the specific settings for the headset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, this software is set to operate with system configurations, as such, it may not work if you make changes to your microphone or sound configuration. In addition, the problem can arise from here when you\u2019re always using multiple headsets (of different brands) on your PC.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Your Microphone is Being Used by Another Program<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This situation is quite common with people who minimize communication apps while looking to work with others. Say you\u2019re in a Zoom meeting, and you won\u2019t be able to use your mic on another app \u2013 say Discord for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Faulty Headset Hardware\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In truth, this should be the least of your problem especially if you\u2019ve just got the device. The Nari Essential headset comes with a detachable mic, as such, it can easily get damaged if not handled properly. While that\u2019s the case, you also want to make sure that you didn\u2019t turn on the mute button on the left ear cup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Razer Nari Essential Mic Not Working: How to Fix<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are only so many ways you can fix your headset if it\u2019s having a mic problem; you just want to make sure it\u2019s not a hardware-related issue as those are pretty challenging to handle.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Make Sure Microphone and Sound Configurations are Correct<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice that you\u2019ve never been able to use an external mic on your PC, then this is the solution that you\u2019ll want to always consider before anything else. First, you want to navigate through to Start &gt;&gt; Settings &gt;&gt; Privacy &gt;&gt; Microphone, and there ensure that \u201cAllow microphone access on this device\u201d and \u201cAllow apps access microphone on this device\u201d are both turned on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you want to scroll down to the list of allowed apps to make sure that your choice app(s) are allowed as well. If you can\u2019t find a particular software in the list, then know it\u2019s been automatically allowed by the system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To correctly configure the sound settings on your PC, you\u2019ll need to locate the sound settings within the control panel. Simply click on the start button, and search for \u201cControl Panel.\u201d In the control panel, search for \u201cSounds\u201d and click on \u201cManage audio devices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you want to navigate to the \u201cRecordings\u201d tab and make your headset the default recording device. In a case where you can\u2019t find it as an available option, right-click and show hidden devices.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Make Sure that Razer Synapse Is Configured Correctly<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is often the problem if you used to use your headset\u2019s mic before, but it suddenly stopped after a Windows update. First, you want to launch your Razer Synapse 3, then navigate through to AUDIO &gt;&gt; MIC &gt;&gt; and make sure it\u2019s toggled on, and the volume is extended to 100. Next, ensure that MIC SENSITIVITY is toggled on as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, you want to also make sure that other settings like sidetone and enhancements are set to 50 and ambient noise reduction to 60 respectively. Then finally, adjust the Game\/Chat balance and test the mic. If after all these and the problem persists, you may need to completely uninstall the app.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Talk to a Customer Care Representative<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This should always be your last resort especially if you\u2019ve been able to tell that your issue might be a hardware problem \u2013 it should be used if you\u2019ve just got your headset. The Nari Essential headset comes with a 2-year warranty provided you don\u2019t violate any T&amp;C.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Razer Nari Essential is a budget headset in Razer\u2019s long product line of gaming accessories.
