OK, so I love headsets that have their own microphone toggle switch that is not tied to some software switch requiring a mouse click or even a keyboard shortcut or press. The switch can be a physical in-line flick or push button switch for wired headsets, or, in my current case, a flick up/down microphone on my wireless Logitech G933 headset I purchased quite a while back…

Recently, with the pandemic raging all around and Work-From-Home (WFH) being the norm, a good headset with microphone control was a must.

Unfortunately, for some odd reason, my Logitech G933 headset microphone started to “crap out” – once muted (i.e. flipped up) the microphone would never re-activate, even with repeated power cycling of the headset. Only a reboot would work…

Frustrated, I was finally ready to throw the headset away when I tried it with another laptop… It worked without issues… I suddenly remembered about the Logitech G Hub software that was running (and not running very well at that – it hangs on the loading screen, which I previously tried troubleshooting but never got anywhere).

I killed the G Hub process and suddenly, my headset was working just fine again!
