So my microphone decided it didn't want to work. Now I'm stuck trying to figure out how I can persuade it back into working.
What I have tried so far.
Started with the obvious - Mic is not muted on inline mute switch
My computer is detecting the headset (Mic and all), and says the device is working properly. I can hear just fine, only the mic isn't working.
Microphone is set as default device
Tried Windows Sound Recorder in case it was just Team Speak - Nope, still nothing.
I ran Windows Audio Recording trouble shooter - No issues detected.
Tried multiple headsets as well. One USB, one with 3.5mm jacks - Both got sound just fine, neither microphone worked.
Drivers are all up-to-date
And yes all the normal dumb computer stuff, restarting, unplugging plugging back in etc etc.

So I guess it works again.
If I knew the solution I would post but
I have no idea.

Ok so just kidding, it isn't working again. Nothing changed. Just, fucked.

Which ports are you using in the front or back? Try switching it up.

My front headphone jack is messed up. So sometimes I hear from it and sometimes I don't. I can wiggle it to work. Depending one where your plug it there could be a loose connections.

sir,
I assume you followed these troubleshooting steps:

Beyond that, I would recommend disabling all of your recording devices, rebooting and then re-enabling them. Ensure you have "Show Disabled Devices." selected.
