Headphones microphone not detected

Hi guys, my microphone worked well till someone changed some settings on my laptop and now idk how to change it back. I can hear in my headphones but the microphone is not detect. Only the laptop microphone works.... I have Steelseries arctis 3








ed.

 

I have a windows 10 computer. It detects my microphone and headphones but only headphones work.

When I connect my headset to my PC, the PC detects both my microphone and my headphones; however, only the headphones seem to be working. These headphones are brand new and work on other devices except my computer, thus I do not believe this issue is with
the headphones themselves. I initially tried connecting it through the front panel jacks, and the aforementioned issue occurred. In order to see if the issue was with the jacks, I used an external USB sound card that allowed me to connect the headset through
USB. Again, my microphone and headphones were detected, but no audio is recorded whereas I do hear sound through the headphones. I have checked all the drivers, and also uninstalled realtek's audio console as suggested by some online troubleshooting guides
with no favorable results.

 

Front panel jack doesn't detect Headphones

Hi,

In the previous versions of Windows, this feature is auto detected. To better assist you, please answer the questions below:

• Have you tried connecting a different headphones to the front panel jack?
• Did the PC detect the headphones when it was connected at the back panel jack?
• Did you encounter an error message, when the headphones are connected to front panel jack?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.
