Stealth Gaming Headset Microphone isn't being detected/not working
Hi, a bit of a long story, so my computer is currently "9" years old, and it was a Windows 7 Home Premium. however, I got it updated to Windows 10 last year (I used a PC mechanic). It still has the old "HD Audio Deck", so it doesn't have a "Realtek Audio Deck". The thing is, my headset mic doesn't work and I don't know why. My first guess is because it needs the Realtek Audio Deck, aka an updated motherboard and/or CPU. Now I did buy a cable splitter, so that's out of the question, and I've tried updating what I've thought to be my headset microphone's driver to a Realtek one since the old one was 9 years old.
Of course it's not muted in any way shape or form, however when I test my headset's mic on Discord, It only picks up what's coming through my headphones. It doesn't pick up my voice at all.
I've contacted support and they reckon it's faulty, but I think it's just that my PC is too old for the tech, and I don't know how to fix that.
If someone could tell me if my PC is recognizing my headset's microphone at all that would be great.
