Microphone detected, yet no sound input (XP)

[dazogga]

My Windows XP machine has a weird issue:
When I plug in the Mic jack into my Mainboard (Fujitsu PTM900) Realtek Audio Manager will detect it, but when I try to record anything (audacity) it will simply give me no output at all.
No matter which source I choose, the only Input I can detect is when i switch the Mic-Mute on the headset. On my Win10 rig it works no problem.

I really don't know what the problem could be, any ideas?

P.s.: No, I dont wanna install Windows7

right click on the speaker on the toolbar near the clock, select input devices and make sure that microphone is the default one and is testing properly
