Mic not working

gumball82613 · May 23, 2018

I have a pair of Sade's 806, obtained them yesterday. The microphone works because I tested it in other ways. However it could be the method that I have the headset plugged in. I have an adapter on my graphics card through the hdmi that has an audio jack because my monitor does not have its own sound. the headset came with an adapter to plug in mic and audio into one 3.5mm jack but when I plug it into the adapter, sound comes out but no mic input can be heard.

The monitor may not support a mic. Try connecting to you case's front or back side.

Well yes that is what my original posting said, I do not have it connected to the monitor, it's on the back of my case but it's on the gpu through the addition of an adapter. Is there any way to redirect the sound of the gpu to come out through the motherboards sound/mic plugins? Sorry about down vote, still new to what the buttons do on these forums.

I'm sorry I was under the impression you had the headset connnected to the monitor.
Perhaps you can tell us the make and model of your graphics card and of this HDMI adapter which as I understand it has a 3.5mm audio jack on it.

My graphics card is an Msi Gtx 1050ti, the specific adapter is this Vicsting brand one https://www.walmart.com/ip/VicTsing-Gold-Plated-HDMI-to-VGA-Converter-Adapter-with-3-5mm-Audio-Port-for-PC-Laptop-DVD/180744494

That adapter appears to have a port for audio out, not a port for audio out + mic in.

Okay well that solves that problem, now the matter is, my motherboard is an Msi h61 mu-e35, I attempted to plug in the mic there and keep the audio in the adapter, it is still not picking up sound, is there any way for this to be resolved?

I have actually progressed a bit, the computer now recognizes the microphone through the back panel plug-in but doesn't pick up sound

I've never had a sound device connected to a HDMI device such as a monitor or your adapter, but I suspect you would have to use sound drivers provided by Nvidia. At the same time, as I understand it, you have the headsets mic connected to the motherboard connector, so for this you would have to use the Realtec sound driver.

Somehow you will have to use two different sound drivers at the same time. One for sound out, and one for sound in. Hopefully you can do this using the Realtec GUI.

I, personally would have connected the headset's both plugs to the motherboard.
