Realtek Microphone jack issue

[TempleSoup]

The audio and mic jack's were working perfectly fine, but i launched discord and suddenly i could hear my voice. i uninstalled and installed again so i could reset the driver. but now with that problem out of the way i noticed that the laptop/driver doesn't recognize the Mic jack and automatically starts using the one in the laptop. the thing is that neither the headset (as in Audio and mic) or just the mic jack are able to get the mic part. when i check the jack information all i get is the "ATAPI internal connector" i'm losing my mind here, i don't even know if this is even the right forum to ask for help, i'm just desperate at this point.

Extra detail: the microphone in the laptop ONLY works if i'm using the "microphone" option. neither the "line in" from the Razer surround software, or the stereo mix work.

 

i would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi,

 

Can't you just disable the normal microphone and the anable the line in by clicking the properties tab or right click.

no, it doesn't want to pick up anyhing but the lap's mic. if i disable it i just get left without a mic. that in the end makes it useless since it doesn't want to work while chatting on discord.

Couple of things.

 

1. If you hear yourself it is often because "Listen to this device" is selected in the Listen tab of the device properties.
2. Is the mic plugged into the red mic jack?

1. already solved that don't worry about that.

2. the jacks aren't colored, i've got 3 jacks. one for the microphone, one for the mic and one for both of them meant to use it with a headset
