Headset built-in mic not picking up sound.

[Luscion]

I bought a Klip Xtreme KHS-815 headset with a built-in mic, the audio is fine but for the life of me i cant seem to get the mic to pick up sound. When i go into recording devices my mic shows up as working.

I've tried using Teamspeak and Windows speech recognition but both dont seem to pick up any sound from the mic. Can anyone offer some help?

Is the mic muted on the inline controls?

Nope, there isnt a mute option. it looks like this:

The button in the lower left with the handset icon looks like it's your mic toggle button. Or you may have to hold it down whenever you want to talk.
