Hello,

I've had this headset for a long time and this problem started one or two days ago. I use Discord App as voip when the headset would suddenly stop receiving from the mic and it would be solved with a few restarts for the app. But today that didn't solve it. The sound still works, just not the mic.

On MSI GT60

Windows 10
Steelseries Siberia v2 or 200 (with two input jacks for mic/audio)
Realtek HD audio manager (software)

I have tried: (Headset itself does not have drivers)
Boosted mic level to +100/Bass to +20
Reinstalling Discord app
Reinstalling Realtek HD Audio Driver/manager (Before I reinstalled Realtek, I also tested with just Microsoft audio)
Scanning for updates through device manager > Audio inputs and outputs (Currently in there are *Microphone (Realtek HD Audio), *Speakers (Realtek HD Audio)
Ran the sound recorder troubleshooter
Enabled 'Default Device' in Sound> Recording> microphone
Restarted computer

So I got a temporary fix by doing this: https://gyazo.com/172ee9e1f3d8c11a5ac3223085395b60
And this one is the default setting: https://gyazo.com/31dbca4894619dc2f6fb7285a1870507

But for some reason, the temp fix used my laptop's built-in mic when I disabled audio effects.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to include as much info as possible but comment if you need more. Thanks!
