Windows 10: Microphone isn't registering

My pc has 2 different aux ports: one for the microphone and one for audio. The headphones that I am using have a mic built into them but, whenever I wanna use voice chat it doesn't read my microphone. In order for me to use my mic i have to plug it into the mic aux port but then I can't hear the audio though the headphones. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

Windows not registering programs as requiring microphone

I am using an application that requires microphone input, and for the last few months, there has been an inability for any audio input to function through the app. I finally figured out that windows is not registering the app as one that requires a microphone,
and is denying it access to using the mic. My question is if there is any way to add applications to the list of permissions under the microphone tab in the privacy settings. (The app I am using is Discord)
