Hey guys,

My problem is that recently i bought a splitter from ebay which has two jacks which fit into the audio and mic inputs on the front panel, however, the mic does not work and only picks up on sound which my earphones produce e.g. from music playing. When i connected the splitter and my iphone earphones into the rear panel, both worked really well just fine, however my iphone mic is not long enough to reach to me. How could i fix this???

I want to be able to use teamspeak just fine with my iphone earphones and the splitter, any fixes.

first try swapping the 2 jacks around on the front panel, could have connected wrong. If that doesnt work, open up your pc and follow the wires from the panel, they will plug into the mobo in a group of 6 or 8 small wires (very fiddly). check they are all pushed down fully. If it still doesnt work you'll need to get your mobo manual and check that they are all plugged into the right ports on the mobo. let us know how you get on.
