Hi all

I had a headset break on me a few days ago so I moved onto a backup pair(Turtle Beach X12) and it has USB, green and pink jacks. The sound works so the green jack works(Unless the sound is going through the USB?).

I can't seem to get my pc to pick up the microphone at all, what are the odds of the pink jack being shot? I don't think I used it very much for this very reason, is there some connections on the inside on the motherboard I may have missed? Or do these jacks work out of the box on most motherboards?
