I cannot get any type of microphone to work, I've tried using two different mics on both front and rear pink ports, and a Blue Nessie USB mic. It detects that all of them are plugged in, but will not hear voice. I've tried them in Elgato HD software, Audacity, and the Windows Speech Recognition software, and it says that nothings heard in the Recording Devices in sound options.

I have tried several different drivers, including the latest RealTek HD Audio drivers, the ones from the Gigabyte website, Blue Yeti Pro drivers, and even tried using the virtual input software/driver "VoiceMeteer." I have uninstalled, reinstalled drivers, restarted, "Load Optimized Defaults" in the UEFI, and several other things, with no avail.

All the mics work on every other computer in the house.

My specs are:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro WMC
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
CPU: AMD FX-4350 @ 4.2Ghz //Unable to remember what cooler but its not stock, it's pretty big though.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB @ 1866Mhz
Storage: Western Digital Green Series 2TB
GPU: HIS AMD 7870 Ghz-Edition
Case: Fractal Design Core 3000
Sound: Onboard RealTek HD 7.1 Surround
Miscellaneous:
Blue Nessie USB Condenser Microphone
LG CD Drive SATA
ASUS PCE N-15 w/ Antenna Extenders
Elgato Game Capture HD60 //Not plugged in right now
 
In the bottom of your screen, there should be a little "speaker" emoticon, right click that and choose "Recording Devices" and find your device. Then right click it and go through properties and try to adjust some settings to see if you can get it to work, if it doesn't consult back to me.
 


I have tried this and unfortunately it did not work.
