No mic

[PurplDrank]

Hello I built a new pc:

 

b450 tomahawk

2700x

windows 10 pro

 

i updated all the drivers on the motherboard and my teammates cannot hear me in game. I have sound coming from my headphones but my mic isn’t working. I’ve tried the other mic jack that I have on the back and that doesn’t work either

Is your microphone boost set properly? Other sound settings (in the audio control panel) set up right?

make sure that you have the mic set as the default input in your audio settings

 

I've had that issue when my brother used to have his webcam plugged in and I wanted to use my mic

have you tried both jacks?

 

EDIT: You did I just forgot for a second..

 

Is your mic working in anything else? Try the windows microphone thingy that lets you record yourself.

I've never messed with the nvidia settings since usually the realtek is the default windows stuff

so i think i figured it out.

 

I plugged the headphone jack into the mic jack and im getting sound....thats not normal.

 

is it possible i could have placed the speaker wire on the microphone connector on the motherboard?

Yeah you might have actually switched the cabling around. Try and switch em back if you didn't already.
