Solved! Gaming Headset: Sound works, Mic will not.

[d4saken1]

I currently have been trying like hell to get my microphone to work on my computer I built recently.

The issue seems to be beyond any searching I could find an answer for.

All incoming sound is great but no matter what the microphone will not pick up a single thing at any boost level or multiple sets.

Driver uninstalled and re-installed several times. Jacks plugged in correctly and always detected.

I have tried all the click and online options I could find for an answer but nothing I have tried has helped and frankly i am wroth and raw.

I have windows 7 and I can list a full spec if need be.

This link is to a picture of my mobo.

I thought maybe something is not plugged in but I have no idea.

Maybe I should buy a sound card just to see if that would solve the issue.

First try with a different Microphone If you have another one that you can confirm works then try that. Also try to use the Microphone on a different computer. This will show if the problem is the microphone or the sound card
