Annnddd I'm dumb and the stupid headset had a mute button on it the whole time. In other news I got it fixed lol.
Earlier this year I bought an Aurora R9. Since I've had it I've had a Bluetooth headset so haven't really messed with the jacks. My headset has been having issues connecting with various devices so I got a wired headset. It's a Hunterspider brand, but don't know much about it other than that. I haven't been able to use the microphone on the headset, but I also haven't been able to use any microphone at all lately. I've tried updating the drivers and it says there's nothing to update, setting the microphone to default, making sure it's enabled, and I'm just at a lost about what to do. I know it's not the headset because I tested it with another device and the mic worked just fine, and tested a different mic as well as my Bluetooth headset and that didn't work either. I can also hear through the headphones, it's literally I just can't use my mic with my computer.
Aurora R9, can't use microphones
