Microphone not working on Realtek HD

Thread Starter 
Hey all,

Built my new Rig today, and I went to install Teamspeak. I did so but my mate said he couldn't hear me. I fiddled about with the TS settings, and then the volume settings in both Windows and RT's sound applet, to no avail. I have plugged the mic (Logitech Headset) into tehe front and back of my PC, and neither work. I have the latest drivers and have tested the Mic on my laptop, so I have hit a dead end as to where I go from here?

Any help is appreciated,

Karl

1st, do you have the mic muted in the volume controls? You may need to click 'Advanced' and check 'microphone' to have it show up in the advanced displays. If not,

Start----> Control Panel----> Sounds and Audio Devices----> Voice----> Test Hardware

The 1st things you need to do in setting up a new mic.

How many channels is it? Make sure it's not trying to use the mic port as an output.

Hi everybody,

I had the same problem. By chance, I found the solution for this.

The Realtek software automatically detects Speakers and Microphones. So many people, included me, think you can connect everything everywhere. That's true excluded the microphone. The mic only works correct with the microphon-connecter, which is the pink one. Now it works correct and the volume is correct.

Yea, same problem here with a logitech head-set and the 650i-ultra motherboard. (and yea, the mic is turned on and plugged into pink jack) the wild thing is that i've gotten it to work in the past, but all my budds tell me i sound far away. (this is with all volume settings turned to high) then I restart the PC, and this time the mic doesn't work. ARRGH Guess i'll keep tinkering

Try disableing front pannel Jack detection. It can be found by clicking on the file icon above the jack icons.

This is for all the ppl having problems getting their mic working i couldn't get my new mic to work so i spent all day lookin on forums and a LOT of ppl are having the same problem i eventually solved it my self (by pressing every button i could find lol) to get it to work i opened Realtek HD Audio Manager, under the Audio I/O tab i changed the 6 channel speaker settings to 2 channel and that was it works fine now. when it's set to 6ch it uses the mic port (the pink one) as a center speaker and sub output by changing it 2ch it makes it into a mic port the thing we've all been lookin for. : )

hope this helps please post this around thanx

Also make sure the Microphone boost is turned up to 30db, If I forget to do that people can barely hear me on teamspeak.
