Stella

Fix it with Stella · Windows audio

Windows can't hear your microphone? Find the setting that broke.

The mic works in one app but not another. Zoom chose the laptop mic. Discord lost permission. Windows muted the input after an update. Stella checks the whole path — device, privacy access, app selection, levels, services, and driver — then makes a test recording so you know it is fixed before the next call.

Try this prompt

“My microphone works in Windows settings but nobody can hear me in Discord. Find the problem and test it.”

You: My microphone works in Windows settings but nobody can hear me in Discord. Find the problem and test it. Stella: Windows has signal, but Discord is using the laptop mic and its app permission is off. I'll correct both. You: Make sure people can actually hear it. Stella: Discord now has the headset input. Test recording played back clearly at a healthy level.

On this problem

What Stella actually does.

  • Identifies the active microphone and checks whether Windows receives a signal
  • Fixes system and per-app privacy access, default input, levels, and mute state
  • Restarts the audio path or repairs the driver only when the evidence points there
  • Records and plays back a test, then confirms the correct input inside your app
