Hello TH forums. I have been using my Razer blacksharks for almost 2 years now. They were working perfectly fine *Already kinda broken, but that's just the sound quality, not the mic.* up until like, 3 days ago. I was in Skype chat with friends playing some league of legends, and the mic just straight up stopped working. Not amount of pushing in harder or making sure cables were connected. Heres my set up:
Case: NZXT Phantom 820: includes a microphone earphone port(s) on the top for a splitter. This is what I use for my headset.
Motherboard: Intel Dx79SI.
I currently use a set of Logitech speakers which plug into the back of my motherboard and whenever I just wanna switch, I would go to playback devices and just switch the default. It was all perfectly fine until the other day. The microphone just stopped picking up audio. Naturally, I thought it just broke, so I plugged them into my phone and called my friend over Skype. Testing with the mic plugged in and out, mouth far away from the phones own mic, and covered it up. My voice was definitely being picked up by the headsets mic, not the phone.
I moved on and updated my audio drivers, they were already at their most updated version apparently, but I downloaded Intel's auto driver updater, which downloaded the REALKTEK HD audio Manager which I have never used before, but apparently it was something it believed I needed. Never-the-less, it still does not work, and I really don't know what the problem is...
