[SOLVED] Microphone not picking up my voice but rather the YouTube videos.

[Stattik]

I can't seem to use my microphone which is on my headset (RAGE Z50). It just picks up on computer sounds but not my voice. I tried reinstalling Realtek drivers and nothing works. Both headphone jack on the front and on the back have the same results. Hope you guys can help me out.

Turn off "Listen to this Device"

Set your headset's mic as Default Device & Default Communication Device

I just did that and well it didn't work. I'm suspecting that there is a problem with the wires, thanks for your reply anyways

Try plugging to front of the case or to the motherboard directly (vice versa) see you get any differences at all?

Also, if it's one of those expensive headsets, you will need a driver update.
