    If the headset connector has 4 segments, then it has the microphone and headphones signals combined in one jack.
    If you insert that connector into a regular jack, the microphone signal is ignored (gets shorted out to ground, the ring closest to base of connector, so the microphone isn't usaable)
    So what you need to do is get an adapter cable which splits the 4 contact connector into separate headphones and microphone connectors, the one in your second picture:
     
    Green is standard color for headphones / stereo speakers and pink is standard color for microphone.
     
    The other devices in your pictures are basically usb sound cards, which have headphones/speakers output and microphone input.
    You need to configure the usb sound card as default sound card in Windows or Mac and then you could connect the headset to it. The sound card in the last picture has a 4 contact jack, so it would be able to take both headphones and microphone in.

    Try AdwCleaner.
    If it's some really hard to find virus, try SpyHunter to detect it and remove it manually based on results.

    FoxMulder2014 reacted to GoldenLag in Is my XTX 650W Pro Serieus good enough for a RX580?   
    it should work. its not a great PSU, but it will work. 
     
    it should have 6+2 pin connector for the rx 580
    oh, btw. 970-580 is more of a sidegrade and not an upgrade. with the exeption of going from 3,5GB of Vram to 4/8GB. they are simililar performance wise. the rx580 will hold up much better in newer titles

    That it did. The Belgium site wasn't just more expensive, they didn't support the free games (which makes it extra cheap in a way since I was going to get Division 2 anyway. DMC also seems nice; Already have RE2 though, but I picked the RX80 so it was two games rather than three anyway)

    Your country is really expensive. Rx 580/1060 are ~150-170 € in mine.

    The gaming X will have been a higher binned card so it comes clocked higher, but for how low the windforce card costs, I would honestly prefer that one. And again, for €20 less, the 580 makes for even better value.

    The RX 580 is often cheaper than the 1060 6gb, if only by just a bit, but offers the same performance. What prices are available to you?

    I think an RX570 or GTX 1060 (maybe even an RX580 idk) would be your best options, whichever's cheaper in your area.

    It depends because some do not allow EU shipping. Mindfactory.de is one of the biggest and popular online hardware stores but it has stopped EU shipping. I personally use idealo.de or geizhals.de to compare the prices. You could just search for a product and check if they allow EU shipping.
     
    I made a mistake and didn´t look for the 6GB/8GB version:
     
    1060 6GB 200+ €
    580 8GB 195+ €

    Yes but as I already said, Mindfactory does no longer ship outside of Germany!
     
    Yes, you get 2 or 3 games for free because it is a promotion (raise your game) from AMD. AMD has a list of online shops in each country that support this promotion:

    AMD promotion website: https://www.amd.com/en/where-to-buy/raise-the-game
    shops that support the promotion: https://www.amd.com/de/where-to-buy/raise-the-game.
     
    Caseking from this list ships internationally. I also believe Alternate but I am not 100% sure. I do not know if the others do.
     
    Sure it would work. rx 590 is ~15% faster than a 1060 and who cares about a small cpu bottleneck in a few games when you want those games anyways. It is basically a free upgrade then.
     
    Feel free to ask me anything.

    Nice. Would be cool to know if my help paid off and you bought from outside of Belgium ?
