Background information to understand how this occurred: Me and my cousins had downloaded ARK: Survival Evolved which we had played a few months ago but decided to come back. As I start the game I head into the bathroom and as I came back after just a minute my PC was suddenly restarting, I immediately knew it was just my GPU overheating, my everyday solution for this is that I put my fans on 100% before heading into a game which requires good hardware. As I had forgotten that I understood that the solution was just to do this.
But as I reconnect on Discord after the restart I notice that my cousins can't hear me but I could hear them which was really odd, I then try to fiddle around Discord settings and Windows settings, even the control panel for sounds. I then also notice that apparently, my cousins were able to hear my desktop sounds such as YouTube, Spotify and such. As I said I have tried fiddling around settings and I deleted my Realtek drivers and then redownloaded them. To confirm the microphone wasn't broken I tried connecting the headphones to my phone and talk through Discord with them and that worked. Something that I also detected was when I connected the pink cable ONLY (microphone) they could hear me but very very low. I'm suspecting it's actually a physical problem, like the chassis or the motherboard (on-board audio) because it would somehow make the most sense. It's just all in all a very weird problem that seems like it has nothing to do with drivers but instead something inside my PC. Any ideas on how I could fix this problem?
