How to Hear Yourself on Mic in Windows 10

1. Open Sound settings

   1. Right-click the volume icon on the bottom right of your taskbar and choose “Open Sound settings”.
      
      

      Open

      

2. View your microphone’s device properties

   Open

   

    

3. Under the “Input” heading, select your playback microphone from the drop down and then click “Device properties”.
   
   

4. Click “Additional device properties”
   
   

5. Enable mic playback to hear your own mic

   1. In the “Listen” tab, tick “Listen to this device”, then select your speakers or headphones from the “Playback through this device” dropdown. Press “OK” to save the changes. You’ll now hear your microphone through your headset or speaker.
