Windows 10: Bizzare bug with headsets

Today, I decided to update my Realtek audio drivers, and it fucked my mic up so I uninstalled them and let windows reinstall it, then I found that there was no bass and no surround sound in my headset, so I updated the drivers in device manager and my bass and surround sound was back but now my headset microphone doesn't work.

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue

 

Good surround sound headset

I appreciate it I was more looking to see if anyone knows something that can fit my bill in that budget. Trust me I know all about the $300 range and even considered audio technica m50x with a condenser mic *Stick Out Tongue
