Windows 10: Mic Not Working

Hello!


Today I bought a new headset, and the mic and audio is plugged into my laptop via a Y cable.

Sound works perfectly fine, but for some reason my laptop isn't registering the mic being plugged in.


In the attachment below, you can see that it's not plugged in, when it really is.

Note: The devices shown were disabled to weed any other issues out. The headset device shown isn't the one I'm talking about.





This is not a headset issue, as I already got a replacement and tested the new one on my phone, which the mic works.

I'm assuming this may be a hardware issue with my laptop. I didn't know where else I could ask for help, so I came here to see if anyone could help.

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Front Panel Headphones and Mic not working.

Hey Everyone,

Mobo : ASUS M2N MX SE
Processor : AMD Athlon X2 5200+
OS : Windows XP Professional SP2 x86

My Rear panel Speakers and mic works all fine. I got a new set of headphones(with mic) when i connect it to the front panel they don't work. NO SOUND OUTPUT.

I updated the audio drivers. I tried a few many things but I still can't get them running.
My default Sound Manager is Realtek HD Audio Manager.

Please help me get my Front Panel working. A step-by-step guide would be better.
Thanks.
