Mic worked fine for the first 2 months of use but I plugged the headset in today and the mic won't pick up sound. MSI realtek pics up the mic and assigns it as a microphone but skype will not pick up the sound when I check if it is in settings (won't work on any other application either). Is there anything I can do? Unsure if its a hardware fault or just a fiddly setting somewhere? Just changed over night I think.

Amazon says I cannot have a return on it due to it being over 30 days since purchase but can I do anything if it is faulty?

Thanks, Cyrus :)

Try this!

Go to bottom right -> Right-click on speaker icon and click on recording devices -> Locate your headset's mic and select it -> Click on "Set as default"

If it doesn't work then it is probably a lemon.

Good luck!
