I just got my Steelseries Siberia V2 Frost Blue. when I plugged it in the sound was working great but the microphone would not pick up my voice. I installed the new drivers and everything. When I go on control panel and look at my mic and talk the bar doesn't show that my voice was picked up.

It was like this for me too, at least on Skype. If Skype if the issue you can solve it by changing audio input on Skype.

I solved this on the whole computer by changing it in Skype, though. I made the input Microphone 2 instead of Microphone 1 in the Skype audio settings.

I had tyhe same problem with my G930s, and my solution was to use a different USB port. I am not sure the USB3.0 ports work correctly with the headsets and their mics, and that might be the problem. here are some of the other solutions I have heard people use when mine weren't working:

-Windows 7 drivers
-Sound card Drivers
-Headset drivers
-Restart Computer
-In manage audio devices, set the headset as the default mic
-go to the properties of the headset, make sure its not muted/extremely low there.

ok im sorry to reopen this post if it was closed. I opened up a new ticket but trying to fix this thing is beginning to be a pain, google is not working for me because noone seems to have the same problem as me. Just like you figured I think it has to be a USB 3.0 problem, i tried using all the usb ports I have and to no avail. Just the other day my LED Lights (Frost Blue Siberia v2) and my microphone were ALL working fine (my sound still works on my headset). but now nothing. no microphone. and no LED lights. everything is set to default for my siberia v2s. nothing works. tried uninstall all the drivers and what not. The only possible solution I came up with was possibly a conflict in driver (ch, steel series >.>) with my windows 7 or some other software. Can you specify all your given details about the tagged solutions ? Please and Thank you
