Hey everyone.I have a issue with my Strix Pro headset, and my G751JY. When i connect the Headset using the small volume box to the PC, the Music playback works, but the microphone doesnt. When connected to a phone, everything works fine. When talking, i do not see the audio bars in the Sound settings move, but when i flick the microphone switch, it gives me a short full green bar. Again using my iPhone, i can talk and hear just fine. Where could the problem be? Here is a list of stuff i tried:

- Reinstalling Realtek drivers
- Rebooting 200 times
- Plugging it into my phone - That worked.
- Disabling ENC(Enviromental Noise Cancellation)
- Using Linux - The Headphones didnt play at all
- Replugging all cables into the correct ports and configuring the port order
- Disabling microphone in Device Manager
- [strike]Throwing the headphones and PC out the window[/strike] Not yet...
 
By any chance, when you plug in the headset, do you get a question from your "audio suite"? I had the same issue with my headset, mic wouldn't work until i looked into my gigabyte audio thing window, within it it was asking me what did i just plugged and when i picked the microphone it started to work...
