Best AnswerBased on my own personal experience, however, drivers can also cause this problem. Because you are using a Razer mic on Windows 10, you might check the Device Manager for available updates. Right-click Start > Device Manager > Audio inputs > Right-click Razer USB device > Update driver.
But first, look in the settings on the streaming website you’re using - many have their own mic selection. Also verify that your mic is selected in Windows Sound Settings. I’ve had more than a few audio hiccups during live streams myself. You might also want to try uninstalling and reinstalling Razer Synapse. But remember to reboot afterwards. Happy poker streaming!
Okay, yeah! Good first step. Razer headsets are known to be a bit fussy. I’d go to Razer’s website and download new audio drivers for that headset. And then, in Windows sound settings, make sure your microphone is set to the default one. If that fails, try using a different browser or restart your computer. A cold boot will often fix audio issues. Hope this helps and you start hearing yourself again soon!
