A problem with new sound card

[Classics]

My output is working correctly, so I can hear everything fine. My problem is the input. When I try to call or access my audio settings on Skype I get this message; 

 

 

And the Windows sound manager isn't detecting any input, when I speak into my microphone nothing is showing up. 

 

 

 

Anyone know what's going on and how I can fix this?

 

Thanks for reading

I had to go the microphone's properties and disable front mic. For some reason it's always on for me.

That's preventing the crashing, but now it's giving me error messages and still not picking up anything from my microphone, thanks for the contribution.

Well tbh, that's soundcards for you. They are problematic to say the least.

I've had some detecting issues with mine but they fixed themselves

Take out the sound card, nuke the drivers with driver sweaper and plug everything into onboard.

After some searching around I've managed to find this tutorial.

 

 

I went to try it but found out that my ASUS audio centre wasn't loading on startup nor does it load when I try to load it myself. I don't know why, when I click it nothing happens. I've tried running it in compatibility mode and running as administrator, any help would be appreciated.

Don't forget to nuke the soundcard

 

But @Classics no idea on that, maybe try the unified xonar drivers
