Realtek Audio - Mic not working

[mavityre]

Ugh.
I've searched and searched but can't find how to fix this. Windows 10. New gaming headset - Mionix Nash 20 with built in mic. It has two lines. A pink one and a black one. Black one goes in the "speaker" plug i the back, pink one goes into the pink plug. I have sound but no mic. I go to "recording Devices" and it's showing a pic of a stand alone mic which is the default. Line in has a red arrow cause I'm not using it and "stereo mix" is disabled. I absoultely cannot get this mic to work. No green lines showing any volume level when I speak into it. I'm running win 10 and all drivers are up to date including the Realtek ones. Mionix has no drivers that I can find that need to be installed. I'm suing onboard sound with a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

You seem to have a clue where to look in Windows so I'm wondering about the headset. I see that it uses a 'flip-up' mute. Does there appear to be anything wrong with how that works?
Also, you know that to test the mic while you figure this out, you can go into Windows Sound - Recording settings and in the Microphone Properties, click Listen and check off "Listen to this Device".

Thank you.

I messed with the mic raising it up and down and kind of bringing it closer to my mouth. At times it would crackle and I could hear myself. RMA time back to Newegg.
Damn it. Why can't stuff just work the way it's supposed to?

Thanks again!

BTW it should be green and pink plugs.
