Hey,
I recently upgraded my PC and everything's fine except for the microphone - it does not work. I own a HyperX Cloud Silver (bought it around 7 months ago) that uses a 3.5mm jack and Realtek technology in order to work on the computer.
When I plugged in for the first time after the upgrade, I noticed that it does identify the mic on Windows/Realtek - but when I tried to talk to friends through Discord it wouldn't pick up my mic, but weirdly enough it would pick up my Windows sounds. I figured it's an issue with Discord so I went on to test it on Windows Sound Settings, confirmed that it isn't Discord's fault. After plugging the mic non-stop between the front and back panel it stopped identifying the mic, but suddenly it came back again.
At the moment my mic is identified but it doesn't work. People complain of "humming sounds" (did a stream test and no sounds comes out of it, only humming sounds). Tried both muted and unmuted mode on the cable, my mic still doesn't work.
Any suggestions? I can't afford to get another motherboard or a headset by now, also I got this headset many months ago. Is there something I can do to fix it on Windows? I mean, it identifies the mic so I assume it is supposed to work?
Obs:
Headset: HyperX Cloud Silver
Motherboard: Asus Z390M-Plus
Windows 10 Pro.
