I can't actually tell which one it is, since the control panel seemingly randomly shows 1 bar of sound.

Story: I decided to use the Rear Panel for my headset, and the sound output works fine, but the microphone doesn't seem to work. Front panel works fine however + front panel USB works fine too.

I tried:
  • Restarting my PC
  • Uninstalling my sound devices, then restarting my PC
  • Increasing mic volume to max and disabling exclusive control
  • Disabling other sound devices (stereo mixer etc)
  • Changing the default input device
  • Restoring default settings

Specs:
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 OC 4.2 GHz
  • MOBO: Asus ROG Strix B450-F
  • OS: Win 10 Pro
  • Headset: Asus ROG Orion Pro

Sound devices:

Translations for Recording Panel (in order): Microphone, Line In, Stereo Mixer

I honestly don't mind it a lot, since I can just use front jacks or USB, but I hope my MOBO isn't broken

Did you install Realtek HDA drivers ?
Microphone properties > Levels, is there Microphone boost option ?
