Default mic issues

so i have a headset which ive had for a while and seems to work fairly well (except apparently the mic sounds a bit bad.)

well anyways a few months ago i reformatted my computer for what ever reason and havent really tried to use the mic. just recently i wanted to use the mic and have had no luck at all. i have 3.5mm jacks for headset and mic in front and back and i also have this little usb dongle that came with the headset that plugs in to the 3.5 jacks and plugs into usb. the head set works well on all 3 ways. but the mic doesnt. and ive tested it with another mic aswell that also works.

any help?

try finding some sound drivers, that could possibly be an issue. Maybe, maybe not.

Headset mics tend to break. A lot.

The problem is that there tend to be lots of frequently-moving hinges, and this causes horrible wear on wires. Also, they tend to use tiny condenser mics, which while provide good sensitivity and quality, die at the slightest hint of moisture - i.e. the sort that naturally occurs when the mic is too close to the mouth.

Start > all programs > accessories > entetainment > Volume control

Options > Properties

Check the 'recording' radio button, or if it is greyed out, change 'mixer device' to anything with 'input' or 'recording'

Make sure that 'line in 1', 'microphone' and/or 'mic' are selected with checkboxes

Make sure no input devices are at muted and are at maximum volume.
