Hello there, i just built my new system and installed my Asrock x370 taichi mobo but right when i started gaming i noticed that my headset's mic wasn't being recognized. I checked the UEFI setting and made sure that the Front panel audio was enabled and set to HD. Tested the mic on another PCs and phones and it worked fine there.Anyone got any idea what's wrong here?

The headset comes up as an output device there but not as a recording device.
 

Right click one of your Recording devices and make sure "Show Disabled Devices" and "Show Disconnected Devices" is check-marked.

Yup,it's check marked

 

Have you tried plugging it into the back-panel to see if it works there?

When i plug it into the back panel as an audio device,it worka fine but no mic once again. If i plug it in as a mic, i can see it in the recording devices but it's reallllyyy low no matter how high i set the volume level. One of my friends also noticed that when i plug i5 in on the front panel as a mic, he can hear my pcs in-game sounds like shooting,etc but notmy voice.
 

Do you have the Realtek HD Audio Manager in your taskbar? You probably need to configure your setup in there. Your motherboard has a built in, high end digital amplifier.

Supports Purity Sound 4
- 120dB SNR DAC with Differential Amplifier
- TI NE5532 Premium Headset Amplifier for Front Panel
Audio Connector (Supports up to 600 Ohm headsets)

Yes, i do have it but how do i set it up correctly? What do i need to do i couldn't figureit out earlier today.
 

I am not sure myself, i have never used it. According to ASRock, "Purity Sound 4 is a combination of several hardware, software audio solutions". Does your motherboard have a CD with software for the Purity Sound hardware?
