I bought steelseries siberia v2 non USB and when I got them they haven't been working. Microphone or sound. They do work on my ipod at least! I'm running windows 8. When i first plug them in, my computer doesn't recognize them. To at least get SOMETHING to recognize, I have to go into my realtek audio driver control panel, and CHECK [disable front jack detection]. After i check that, my computer recognizes a (SPEAKERS) and (MICROPHONE) from realtek, both of which play nothing. i have tried reinstalling drivers, reverting drivers, new drivers, i have tried plugging into different jacks, i have tried making it my default device, i have tried everything I can think of. Can you help me

Ah, I thought you had the USB headset. Are you using the cable extenders? Try without them if you are. Also check with another headset to make sure your jacks are OK since the headset works with another device.

The USB headset would not be playing though the Realtek device. Look in your sound devices for the USB headset and set those as the default. In my computer now I see the Speakers on the motherboard audio connections and my Headset Earphone for my Plantronics USB headset.
