**For anyone who’s experiencing issues such as your microphone not showing up (The only option being “Default - None”) or VRChat’s in-game sound not working, here’s a potential solution:** 1. Go to the Windows Search Bar, then type in “Services” and open it. 2. Scroll down until you find “Windows Audio Endpoint Builder” 3. Right-click that and hit “restart”. (It’ll also restart “Windows Audio”, just proceed as it’s nothing crucial) I hope this’ll fix the issue, and please let me know if you have any questions or if it didn’t work. ---

This sadly didn’t help me at all : ( I after restarting the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder and even restarting my computer it still only has the option as **Default - None.** I worked at it for hours looking up different fixes and nothing worked : ( ---

Another solution is on vr chat mic settings. Turn mic threshold down to 3% and should work now. ---
