I having some trouble with my headset/mic. Uses audio jacks btw, when i play any game the in-game chat doesn't work. I cant hear them and they cant hear me. Then when I use discord or Skype everything works just fine. I cant figure out what going on. Please help.
 
Solution
You can try these things:
Run the Windows Device troubleshooter in control panel
Run sfc/scannow
Check the integrity of cache files through each gaming platform
Eventually re-installing a game should fix the issue


I have still nothing. I guess I'm just gonna buy a new headset that uses usb...
 
That may not solve your issue but you can try. Since it works with some programs but not in games, it indicates a driver issue. Was it always like that? Did you change anything or had an OS update? Post your specs and we may find the root cause
