Hello John, I figured out what the problem was by contacting the people who made my pc. my headphone is a mic and a headphone and in order for the mic to work i would need a splitter

Hello,

That would make sense. A headset has different wiring than a Microphone. Some Headsets have a switch on them to change inputs and outputs. Otherwise, a splitter is needed. Thanks, for getting back to us with your solution.

We can consider this issue closed.
