Windows
Is there a link for this microphone driver?
Sorry no. Because all FIFINE USB microphones use a universal driver built into Windows and Mac, and even some Linux and Chromebook systems. So there is no specific driver to download. If the driver fails to trigger the automatic installation on Windows, just follow the steps below to update and reinstall the driver. For the other system users, please check out the corresponding tabs.
My Windows is not recognizing the FIFINE A6T Microphone
At this point, there’s the same method for the FIFINE USB microphone. So let’s check it out on the radio below from 0:21 to 3:16.
USB Device Not Recognized / No USB PnP Audio Device appears in the sound settings:
1. Test the mic on another computer and check if the USB PNP audio device appears.
2. No other PC available? Go to “Start Menu” < search “Control Panel” < “Device Manage” < “Universal Serial Bus controllers” < check if the “Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)” is in the list.
3. If a USB PNP audio device/ unknown USB device appears, right-click it and choose update driver software through “browse my computer for driver software”. Then click “Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer”.
4. Wait for a while, and your PC will have updated its software.
5. Go back to “Sound, video and game controllers” < right click “USB PNP audio Device” < “Uninstall”.
6. Restart your computer and plug the mic into another USB port.
For the latest Windows users, in order to access the sound settings, please right-click the speaker icon at the bottom right-choose "Sound", and click "Sound Control Panel" at the upper right of the pop-up window.
It didn't work even after reinstallation and update of the driver.
Please download the application from the link below to clean up the USB registry of your PC. The code for unzipping the file is "fifine".
Plug the FIFINE A6T mic into your computer, uninstall the "Unknown USB Device" under the Device Manager, then unplug the microphone. Skip to the second step if there's no "Unknown USB Device".
Stay on the Device Manager, double-click the app to run. Select “Clean”. Finally, restart the computer and replug the mic into another USB port.
It's recognized, but I didn't hear any sound coming out of my Windows when I spoke.
Troubleshoot if the level meter moves but no microphone audio can be heard by following the video below (from 1:14 to 1:22).
Click Microphone "FIFINE Microphone" – "Properties"– "Listen" – click"Listen to this device" –"Apply."
Tips: Click off "Listen to this device" when you are using any recording software or chatting software
After upgrading to Win 10, the A6T doesn't work.
If the level meter doesn't move, please check if the microphone gain knob at the bottom is turned up.
Troubleshoot if the level meter does NOT move by following the video below (from 5:53 to 6:52). You can take a quick browse here:
1. Choose “Settings” - “Privacy” - “Microphone.”
2. Click the “Change” button under the “Microphone access for this device is off.”
3. Choose “On” of the “Microphone for this device.”

Test the mic on another computer and check if the USB device appears.
No other computer available: unplug all the USB devices from your Mac and replug the mic from another USB port without using a USB hub.

Chromebook
Will it work on a Chromebook?
Because of the variations of the Chrome OS system, we have only confirmed that the computer models and system versions below work.
Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015) with OS Version: 67.0.3396.99;
Acer R11 with Version: 71;
Acer C720, Acer C740, Samsung Series 3, and Samsung Series 5 with OS Version: 72.0.3626.117.
Then download a Voice Recorder app from the Play Store, and you're good to go.
Mobile
How to use it with smartphones (Android and iPhone) or tablets (Android and iPad)?
It works when used with a proper USB adapter. But we recommend using it only with Windows and Mac computers, because you can't speak into the microphone and hear from the smartphone at the same time.
Android with a micro-USB port needs a micro-USB male to Type-A female adapter.
Android with a Type-C port needs a Type-C male to Type-A female adapter.
iPhone/iPad with a Lightning port needs a Lightning male to Type-A female adapter.
iPhone/iPad with a Type-C port needs a Type-C male to Type-A female adapter.
Highly recommend the adapter from the Apple store if you do want to use the mic for your Apple mobiles.
Game Console
How to use a wired/wireless headset along with the microphone on a PlayStation console?
⚠️Go to "Setting"-"Devices"-"Audio Devices"-uncheck the option of "Switch Output Device Automatically"-plug the microphone into the console while the headset into your controller-choose the correct input and output devices. The shortfall is that you have to do it whenever you use PlayStation.
How to use this microphone with an Xbox?
⚠️The mic doesn't work with the Xbox console or controller directly. So we don't recommend using it with the Xbox. But there's a way to do so. You can get it to work, but the sound quality would become so bad that you would rather not do so.
Plug the mic into a computer-enabled the monitoring feature (please refer to "It's recognized, but I didn't hear any sound coming out of my Windows when I spoke" part)-find a 3.5mm audio cable, plug one end into the computer headphone jack, and the other end into your Xbox controller.
