Mic-in port not working on motherboard but working on front panel of desktop

[JJames75]

Whenever I plug my mic into the port on the front of my case it works but whenever I try to plug it in the "Mic in" on the back of my PC, where the I/O ports are, it does not work and registers it has "speakers" and not as a mic. I want to be able to plug it in the back because its a little loose in the front and it fits firmly on the back. Can anyone share their insight on this?

The Mic in port is usually Pink. Is that what you are using?

Yes, however, when I plug it in, it registers as speakers and not mic. I tried all the ports and its the same.

What is the name of your motherboard?

You may need to reconfigure your speakers in the audio manager.
