Turns out the microphone that connects to the headset wasn't pushed in enough. Not sure why it worked on the laptop, maybe it used the laptops audio

Hi

 

I got a pair of Corsair HS60s yesterday and the mic doesn't seem to work. I've made sure I'm unmuted, i've tried with and without the USB converter it has, but all I can get to work is the speaker portion. The HS60 microphone shows up as an input, but when tested it makes no noise. When I toggle the mic mute, it makes a slight static noise. I plugged it in to a laptop with a dedicated headset port, and it worked there. I'm using an NZXT s340 and a b350 mortar arctic motherboard, and afaik there is no headset port, barring the headphone front panel jack, which I broke.

 

Basically the HS60's USB adapter doesn't let the mic work (I've tried different ports). Any ideas/work arounds? I've done W10 troubleshoot twice and it has not resolved the issue.
