My PC is as follows.
Dell Alienware m14x
Nvidia GT555m GFX card
Intel i7 chip
Realtek HD audio

This is my problem: Whenever I try to plug any audio input device into my PC, it makes it a speaker, and thus useless. The device does, however, appear in the Microphone section of the control panel too. I have tried disabling the device, and making the speakers the default audio device, but whenever I do this, NOTHING happens. I'm beginning to think it may be a problem with realtek.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks for the speedy reply, however, this is not the problem (I don't think I explained it well enough) I simply can't change or configure my default devices in the Audio control pane
