Whether you’re dictating with speech recognition or talking to a family member or gaming buddy over voice chat, speaking can be faster and clearer than typing. Luckily, setting up a microphone on Windows is simple and easy to do. Here’s how to set up and test your Microphone on Windows 10.
Setting Up a Microphone
One of the first things you’ll need to do before setting up your microphone is to plug it in–or connect it via Bluetooth– and install any drivers. Most of the time Windows will automatically search for and install the necessary drivers, but if that doesn’t work, then you might need to check the manufacturer’s website for specific drivers.

After you’ve installed all the necessary drivers, right-click the volume icon in your system tray and then click the “Sounds” command.
In the Sound window, switch to the “Recording” tab to see microphone settings. Select the microphone you want to use and then click the “Configure” button.
In the Speech Recognition window that opens, click the “Set Up Microphone” link. And while this tool is geared toward speech recognition, setting up your microphone here can also help configure it better for voice chats.
