Hello,
So a couple days ago I posted because the sound jack on my MB seemed to be broken, which someone suggested to get a USB sound adapter to bypass the jack on the board.(here's a link for reference http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3738884/problem-microphone-headphone-jack-build.html)
Well it worked great for the audio on my headset, but I couldn't get the mic on the headset to work no matter what I did. I reinstalled drivers, messed with every settings menu imaginable, went online and followed video tutorials, you name it.
When I first plug the mic into the jack there is an audio spike, so I assumed I had got a bad USB adapter, so I exchanged it for another brand.
I just got this new adapter home and it's the same problem! There's an audio spike when I plug it into the adapter, but other than that I can't get it to work.
If I plug the headset into my laptop, the microphone works fine, so this issue is isolated to this system.
I even tried booting the computer up on Linux and messing with those settings, but it's the same issue. I get an audio spike when I plug it in, but no matter what I do with the settings, it wont work.
Any idea what on earth the problem could be?
