My computer can't detect any microphone drivers?
Yes I have tried downloading them but the computer still doesn't recognize them they literally don't exist to my computer so no microphones except for the built in one will work
I really need to fix this because the microphone sucks and my friends often have trouble hearing me so that they have to turn their volume up and everyone else down
Also it has been like this since I got the computer the only microphones that work are bluetooth ones but those are my sisters so she won't let me use them all day
The microphones that don't work are ALL of them except for bluetooth
Also the only thing I know about my computer is that it is a some type of Dell computer
So apparently I have an inspiron 24 5475 all in one if that helps and I have never changed the parts

1) In your Windows Search Window, type "sound" and then open the Sound Settings. Under "choose your input device" make sure your microphone appears in the list. If you see "no input devices found", click the link titled "Manage Sound Devices." Under "Input Devices," look for your microphone.

Here is a link to the Dell website about troubleshooting Audio or microphone issues

You say you've downloaded the drivers, but have you run the driver install? And by this, I don't mean having the system try and find the driver. Most drivers will self install or at least will self expand so that the files are then available.
Go to your downloads and look for the file you downloaded. Double click on it and see if it runs an install or merely unpacks the zip file. If the latter, then you can use your system to find the driver where it has been 'unzipped.'

I would suggest you make sure the mike is plugged into the right plug right spot.
If you are not sure about the spot, the Dell site will have the information. Older computers only had a mono input. Some newer ones have a stereo input also.
A second choice is a mic that will plug into the USB port (or adaptor).
When you get it hooked up right- the drivers will be there.
Last thought go to the control panel and see if it detects the mike. The machine might need to be told to look for a mike, other wise it will use the default input which is the built in one. That mic might need to be turned off for it to search for a new mike.

OK, well that's sad, but you've provided absolutely no information that would help us to help you solve that problem. Things like the make/model of your computer, the model of your microphone, the operating system of your computer, etc...
