Hello fellow people.

I have had my razer kraken headset for around 6 months now and from time to time, my microphone for the headset stops working.

I thought this was a problem with my laptop thus me buying a new pc.
I bought a Alienware Alpha R2 i7 but the issue stayed the same.
Just like last time, i can hear everything perfectly but other people on skype or teamspeak cant hear me talking, not even my computer is picking up that i have a microphone plugged in to my monitor.

 

Thank you any help is appreciated!

Or just get a new microphone tbh, the kraken headsets are notorious for crips and over time shorts in the wire. Heck the funny thing is when I had a Karken headset about 3 years ago first thing that went was the mic.

I love this. :D Instead of swapping headsets (or even testing the headset in another computer?!) you just go and buy a new computer. "Mom, the bathroom light's out! We gotta move!" -OP probably.

Yuppp

 

"Mom Mom mom, there's a bug in my room, we gotta move out !"
