My microphone is connected though, I can use it to speak to Cortana on windows 10 and she can hear me perfectly, I can even pickup a sound indicator from the recordings, BUT, no matter what I do, no matter how I struggle, programs like discord and battlenet won't pickup any voice indicators and people can't hear me no matter how loud i try to talk, I can hear perfectly fine through headset, I even managed to do - even i don't know how i did it - something and I could talk to the mic and hear my voice on the headset, I have sound, I know I do, but the mic won't be played, I checked the devices, device manager, no issues there, I checked with the drivers, currently installed last updated Realtek HD Audio, to no avail. Windows 10 just don't want to coop with me here....with Windows 7 I never had any kind of problem.

My headphones are a Razer Kraken with it's jack spliter to 2 different jacks, pink one for microphone and green one for headphones, all's supposed to work perfectly fine, my system is Windows 10 pro 64 bit, I have no idea what's going on, please, help me.

EDIT 1 : Forgot to say that it's actually connected to the rear panel where always my sound was coming from normally. It also shows a front panel and I tried it, believe me, I did, but nothing worked.

Well, after a long time of not knowing what to do and installing/uninstalling softwares here and there, I magically made it to work, somehow. I don't even know how I did it. But, I'll type what I did.

Uninstalled realtek HD Audio and removed Nvidia HD Audio from device manager.
Restarted the computer.
Installed realtek HD Audio from a different disc which is supposed to be a newer version than the one I was installing.
Checked microphone on the recording devices.
Tried to make a call with someone on Discord.
He couldn't hear me, I pressed the restore defaults on voice tab of discord.
Fixed the problem and now it works perfectly fine.

Thanks for the "help" I hope my post here will give some light to someone who has the same issue as me.
