After the Reinstallation of NI Software My Microphone Does Not Work in MAX

Updated Oct 31, 2022

Issue Details

After the software reinstallation on the PC, the microphone does not function anymore. 
I test my microphone in NI MAX but it does not register anything. The microphone was stored in proper conditions so becoming non-operational due to the damage is not an option.

Solution

Each time you are performing measurement in NI MAX there is a need to check the mark of IEPE active status. It must be at the active stage, otherwise, your microphone won't show correct measurement or will not measure anything at all.
After reinstallation of the software, the IEPE active might go to the default state, which can make you unable to acquire data.
