Mic not working when plugged in
Hello, my mic used to work well and I had seen no problems with it, but one day, perhaps because I had recently installed new audio drivers, it stopped working. I ordered a replacement mic and it still doesn't work. Either this is a software problem, hardware problem, wire problem, or somehow something else in the headset itself. It is a straight plug in mic, but when I plug it in it only has light static, which sometimes goes away. It is consistent static. I have reinstalled all my audio drivers, and I have recorded audio that had no sound with it. As well, I also tried recording audio once and was told I had no recording device. My computer's mic is fully functional, but the external mic does not work. If anyone can help me diagnose the problem I would appreciate it. I can buy a whole new headset if needed, but it seems the problem is with the computer.
