help with Mics!

Quadrider10 · 14 Jun 2013

so instead of buying a mic, i thought i would be abl to use one of the three earbuds/mics i have. however, when i plug it in, it reconizes the mic, but only responds when i blow into the ear bud peice. not the mic built into the wire...... ive tried 3 different headsets, and tried switching between line in, and mic in. any idea how to fix this? im on an MSI 970A-G43 MOBO

Quad looking at the I/O panel it is usually the green for phones and orange for mic from what I have doe in the past.

Have a look at the jacks the phones should have three "sections" that go into the socket the mic two. see pic. - they should be coloured coded as aruel.
