Your MB uses "Realtek® ALC887 8-Channel High Definition Audio CODEC *2" so you probably don't have appropriate drivers for it. You can get them from Asus directly.
It's also possible that HDMI is set as default sound device so check in Control Panel > Sound > Recording.

I just checked HDMI is not my default sound device and I updated my drivers and it still wont work. From what I hear and see it seems like instead of using audio from the actual mic its just using audio from the headphones/PC so nothing new changed, really irritating.

Only way microphone wouldn't use audio jacks and and internal audio chip would be if it's a digital mic and connected by USB. Do you have Realtek HD Audio control in Control Panel or in taskbar ? Also in Control Panel > Sound > Recording should be able to adjust input level and see the bar beside Microphone pulsate when you speak into it.
