Hey i just purchased a razer kraken and when i plug it into the two front ports on my pc i get sound but can not use the microphone, and when i go to my sound settings it does not even recognize that a microphone is plugged in

Any help would be great!

There should be a microphone port on the back I/O plane. Check if it is recognized there. THat may start to give you a clue on what is broken.

ALso right-click on the little speaker icon in your notification area and select "recording Devices". Click anywhere in that window and select "show disabled devices" - see if the microphone is disabled.
