If you can hear yourself in your headset/speakers that the connection is good and working. It is a question of what might be your default microphone setting in the OS. If running Windows, right click on the speak symbol in the lower right in the taskbar and selecting recording devices. Assure that your microphone is the default. You may have to disable others to avoid other software from selecting the incorrect input/microphone.

You have me stumped. Other than looking at the other settings in the Recording devices that you just looked at I can't think of why you can hear yourself through the PC but not applications. Do the applications ( I don't use them ) let you know what input devices that they are using? The only thing that I still can think of is a setting for the device (mentioned in this post above) or that the applications think that the microphone is from another source. Sorry. Good luck.

Addendum: One other thing. If you installed the software before adding the microphone, whether or not, check the apps. device management system again.
