How can I find out which processes on my computer are accessing the microphone?
I can indeed confirm this works with the same thing, altho device manager / Audio devices doesn't work the same for me.
To clarify:
- Right click your Volume icon on the lower right hand on the task bar.
- Click 'Recording Devices'
- Right click your current / Default Device and go to 'Properties'.
- Under where it says Controller Information click 'Properties' and under the 'Details' tab when it pops up, under Property, go to Physical Device Object Name.
- Right-click and copy the Device path. After this you can find it in Process Explorer or wherever necessary.
Notes: For me it's not the device name (Headset Microphone) but rather Bluetooth Hands-free Audio. Huh. It may be different depending on your hardware. I was able to find all processes using my mic, including the audiodg.exe (Where you open it up to test if your mic is working.)
Good luck guys!
