I have a new computer but the same thing happened with the old one. Windows does not properly recognize my microphone, DJI Mic Mini. Most of the time it simply does not even when it recognizes then, when it does and I can use it, it still says it's still listed as an other device. It marks it as having a problem, like the driver needs to be updated but there is no driver associated. I have Windows 11 Pro.

    Unfortunately since I'm talking about a DJI Mic Mini, there are no drivers to update. All the first steps had already been made . Thank you very much for the help but the issue still persists. It appears to be a bug in Windows. Because this doesn't happen in my Mac or in the other computer that I have, Linux

    Since Windows 11 sometimes detects the mic but shows it as a problematic device, use this order:

    1. Check microphone permissions.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Privacy & security > Microphone.
      • Turn on Microphone access.
      • Turn on Let apps access your microphone.
      • Turn on Let desktop apps access your microphone.
      • Then test the app that should use the DJI Mic Mini.
    2. Verify the input device and test input level.
      • Go to Start > Settings > System > Sound.
      • Under Input, select the microphone if it appears.
      • Open its properties, select Start test, speak normally, then Stop test and Play.
      • If needed, raise the Input volume.
    3. Update audio drivers through Windows Update first.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update.
      • Select Check for updates.
      • Install any available audio-related updates and restart.
    4. Update the audio device from Device Manager.
      • Open Device Manager.
      • Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
      • Right-click the audio device and select Update driver.
      • Select Search automatically for drivers.
      • Restart after the update.
    5. If Windows still shows the device as broken or not recognized, reinstall the audio driver.
      • Open Device Manager.
      • Expand Sound, video and game controllers.
      • Right-click the audio device and select Uninstall device.
      • If shown, select Attempt to remove the driver for this device or Delete the driver software for this device.
      • Restart the PC so Windows reinstalls the driver automatically.
    6. If Windows says the best driver is already installed but the mic still fails, install the latest audio driver from the PC manufacturer.
      • Go to the computer manufacturer’s support site.
      • Find the exact PC model.
      • Download and install the latest Windows 11 audio driver.
      • Restart the PC.
    7. If the problem started after a Windows update, roll back the audio driver.
      • In Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers.
      • Right-click the sound device > Properties > Driver tab > Roll Back Driver.

    Important: uninstalling drivers and rolling back drivers can affect audio temporarily until Windows reinstalls or restores the driver.

    The context supports Windows audio-driver troubleshooting, permissions, Windows Update, reinstall, manufacturer drivers, and rollback. It does not provide a DJI-specific driver, so the supported path is to fix Windows detection and the PC audio stack rather than look for a separate DJI driver.
