Hey guys, I just recently decided to build a PC and just finished today. My specs are:
Processor: Intel i54670k
Motherboard: MSI z87 g65
Graphics card: EVGA GTX 760
RAM: 2x 4g corsair vengance
PowerSupply: Corsair CX750M

I installed all the drivers and everything is fine, except for my sound! I tried uninstalling the sound drivers and that actually helped and gave me sound, now my only problem is my mic is really really low. I have the settings on Skype and the "Recording Devices" setup all at max level and still I'm super low. People can only hear me if I yell, my mic isn't muted either. I tried re installing the drivers and that only messed my sound up again; every time I install them I don't hear anything from my speakers or my headset, anyone know what's happening?

Right now I have sound but it's because my drivers are uninstalled and people can hear me over Skype but I'm very low even though I have everything turned all the way up.
I would like to install my drivers and be able to hear sound and be able to speak through my mic, specially since my mobo came with something called sound blaster which helps me enhance my gaming experience. I did a BIOS start up to make sure the HD sound was on and it is, have tried so many things and I'm stumped. I checked to see if everything was plugged in correctly in the mobo and it seems like it is. Someone please help!

Sorry this is so long, I keep on updating it just so you guys know everything.
My headset is plugged in to the mobo connectors on the back of the case right now and my monitor is connected though an HDMI cable on my graphics card. (monitor doesn't have speakers on anything)

Yeah I'm using the Onboard realtek, right now I have my headset plugged into the back of the case (on the motherboard itself), I checked my settings and they all seem fine. I was thinking I might have to get a soundcard but I want to try just about anything before going to that step
