Computer won't recognize headset microphone

This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

 

Headset not being recognized by computer

On my desktop for some reason some Windows update causes problems with Realtek Audio with the audio jacks. I just checked and they weren't working again with my headset microphone. To fix the problem I reinstalled the Realtek Audio driver.

This is what I see when I plug my headset into the front panel.

Speakers and Headphones/Headsets use Realtek Audio




Headset Speakers uses Realtek Audio




Headset Microphone uses Realtek Audio

 

Computer won't recognize headset microphone


Hello,

I recently got a new headset with a mic, as i have been using an external mic that was separate from my old headphones and was really old and dodgy. The new headset i got was the Plantronics Rig Flex LX. It has really good sound quality and everything works well on my Xbox. However, when i went to use it on my computer, the computer will recognize the headset as a playback device, but doesnt recognize it as a recording device.

I have updated all of my drivers and tried plugging my headset into all of the 3 audio jacks (one for microphones, one for headphones, one for combination) but it still doesnt work.

Does anyone know a solution?
