Worked fine on Windows 7 and 8 but now it seems to be...I don't know...it's being picked up but it is not actually picking up sound, just static. I un clicked a bunch of things and played around but I can't get it to work. Anyone know of anything I can do so I can talk to friends on Skype!?

Note: My computer uses the latest version of Realtek HD audio

Things I done and checked:
Plugs are plugged in properly, mic and everything
I unclicked "Allow apps to take exclusive control of this device
Mic level is at 100 and mic boost is at 0.0db

Thanks in advance!

Try updating the realtek HD audio drivers first.

If that doesn't work, try following the steps on this link: http://win10faq.com/fix-microphone-settings/
