Installed New Video Card, Now No Mic

[230G]

  I installed a new GeForce GTX 1050Ti and everything is great, but no mic. Sound works fine but no mic! Thoughts?

Find your device and Right-Click on it.

Also disable the NVidia HDMI pass-through audio driver.

Has NVidia stopped providing an option to not install that audio driver?

 I think I did see that option, now that I think about it.

The only time you need that NVidia or AMD audio driver is when you expect audio to go through an HDMI cable to a television or monitor with speakers. 

If your audio is provided by USB, or sound card/chip, then you do not need that driver.  That driver can cause major stability issues if it collides with the other sound drivers in the system at interrupt time.
