I recently changed my setup and had to move my computer a couple feet. When I went to play a game on my pc, I noticed the audio or mic did not work. I have a Razer Kraken Pro headset that worked great. The cord fed to a y splitter to connect to the pc. The thing is is that when I fully plug in the 2 splitter cables, I only get sound in the right ear and the mic barely works. If I leave out the sound cord, I get no sound but the mic works. If I leave the sound cord in but halfway take out the mic, I can hear in both ears, the mic shows up, but the mic doesnt work well. Any ideas on what is going on?

Try the other connection on the computer (rear/front) and see if it does the same thing in either one. If it worked fine before the move, pretty clear something got yanked/bent/damaged physically. The part-way sound working points to a jack issue where it does not make good contact with the connections. Try a different splitter, or try cleaning the cable with some contact cleaner. A bit of contact cleaner in the jack may help but that could be a bit dangerous as it may leak and hurt something else.
