Please help my mic isn't working!

[willberimurphy]

So, my mic stopped working(I'm not sure when because I haven't used it in a while). It only records static, but I don't think it's my mic itself, because I've tried another mic on my computer with the same result. I also don't think my computer is even registering my mic, because even when I mute it, it plays static. The "stereo mix" thing creates this awful feedback. I've already tried uninstalling my drivers and restarting my computer and letting it reinstall, but that hasn't worked. I've also tried adjusting the levels. I think my computer may be confusing some sort of internal audio as my mic.
Thank you in advance

My Specs:
Headset: Kotion Each Pro Gaming Headset G9000 (Using the cable splitter that comes with it so mic and speakers are separate)
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 (Using the onboard soundcard)
OS: Windows 10

I've looked at many other forums about this but to no avail. Thank you in advance
