Alright guys, I've literally scoured the internet for any solutions to no avail.
There's ONE guy with a similar issue as me found here: guy with same issue but I don't think he's found a solution or has not posted it.
_____________
So I've recently built a new PC, running on Windows 10. I ordered most/all my parts through Amazon, and the couriers have consistently thrown the parts over, even with service calls to the delivery manager(s). I started off with a tonne of issues, and pretty much re-bought all my parts that are kind of fragile (learned that the PSU was defective even though it would jump start, etc.)
When the bad boy finally POSTed and I set up Windows 10 on it, I learned that the microphone wasn't working. Windows detected it but it simply wouldn't pick up sound.
Before you guys reply to troubleshoot particular things, this issue started when I had a MSI H170A PC Mate (new), and I've since replaced it with a Gigabyte Z170MX Gaming 5. I have worked with computers extensively before and am aware of all the common troubleshooting routes. I've reinstalled all drivers, updated, tried every BIOS version, resetted CMOS, reinstalled Windows 10 (clean) today, and even bought a USB sound adapter Sabrent Sound Adapter
TL;DR:
Microphone(s) do not work. Works on every computer. Tried every common troubleshooting route. Bought a new motherboard with a nice sound-set, still with the same issue. Reinstalled Windows 10 CLEAN. Bought a USB sound adapter, still to no avail.
SIDE NOTE: When I plug it in, it will pick up sound for 0.05 seconds or so (or unplug/replug) - as I can see the volume bar moving up. Almost certain that this is static sound. Also, if I am to listen to the microphone at full volume on playback, I can hear faint static sounds. Windows realizes somethings connected, either via back panel, front panel -or- USB adapter, but still no input.
Please, if anyone has any information apart from "go to a PC shop" - that would be awesome. I am also aware that (with my luck), I could have had two motherboards with broken sound cards - but the purchase of the USB sound adapter makes me think otherwise. EVERYTHING works on other devices.
