Win7 x64 bit isn't detecting Mic for my headphones

[Fajr]

Hello Everyone
I have Sound Plaster PCIe Xtreme Audio sound card integrated with MSI P6N Diamond motherboard and I installed all of its latest drivers but It seems I can't make Mic work
Win7 detects Speakers only which is working just fine but it doesn't detect my Mic
I also changed the FlexiJack Mode to Microphone but still my mic isn't working
I'm using Headphones (Gamecom Headphones which is working just fine without any problem)
What should I do to make Mic works?

is your mic a part of a camara or the headphones?

Stupid question maybe, but could they be broken?

Did you install ALL your graphics card drivers (including audio from the graphic card's manufacturer's website) and your motherboard driver for audio (perhaps from the motherboard's manufacturer's website)?

I'll need you to do this: Fill out your system specs (this tool may help you out a great deal).

Let me know what you have done in your next post. There are also windows and audio driver settings that you can change, and perhaps its just not enabled. I'll tell you more after you get back to me with the above information

I have a Gameconn headset as well and the option for the microphone can sometimes for whatever reason be disabled by software such as Skype. Which software are you using the mic for, i.e. Steam, Skype, Vent etc from this we will be able to track down wether they can pick your mic up which will then point us towards a hardware or software relatred problem. Thank you

first its a spelling mistake, no big deal

and secondly have you tried both microphone jacks on your PC or do you only have the front one?

I have only one Microphone FP
but there are two choices in Windows Recording Devices
Microphone (this appears to be detected when I unplug the mic of the headphones but disappears when I plug it don't know why)
Microphone FP

From microsoft:

After you've plugged a microphone into a microphone jack on your computer and turned it on (if the microphone has an on button), follow these steps.

1. Open Sound by clicking the Start button
   
   , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type sound, and then click Sound.
2. Click the Recording tab, click Microphone, and then click Properties.
3. Click the Levels tab and make sure the Mute button looks like this
   
   . If the button looks like this
   
   , click it to turn on sound for this connection, and then click Apply.

(Optional) To listen to microphone sounds through your speakers or headphones, click the Listen tab, click the Listen to this device check box, and then click OK.

And back to me:
Now when you make a loud noise, can you see the green bar light up (I think you should see it on the general tab)? Let me know if you need me to clarify

My friend thanks for all that but the problem is that Win 7 in Recording Devices Tap says Microphone is Unplugged when it is plugged it's like it is not detecting any recording devices I don't know if it is because I changed to Win 7 from Win XP or is it broken (Speakers work but not mic how is that ?)
Can anyone tell me ?

run this command in cmd prompt: "sfc /scannow" (without quotes). try a repair install: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/3413-repair-install.html

Other than that, I only have conventional ways for trying to solve common sound issues. for any further (deeper) information, someone else would have to help you

I tried writing that but a msg appears " You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utilities

If you have an option to disable front panel jack detection try that.

Well maybe I should mention that when I unplug my mic the option Microphone appears to be detected but I can't use it
I'm supposed to use Microphone FP because that what I was using when I had Win XP

 

[DustSailor]

right click the command program, then click run as administrator, then enter your password. and what the heck is microphone fp and why do you have to use it? try the other way

Thanks it worked and this what I got from it "Windows Resources found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them
Details are included in the CBS.Log windir/Logs/CBS/CBS.log. For example
C:/Windows/Logs/CBS/CBS.log"
if i'm not mistaken Microphone FP stands for Mic Front Panel
I have only one Mic port which is supposed to be Microphone FP
I also tried the other choice which is (Microphone) but no results

Alright, the FP makes sense being front panel. I'm getting old, too hard to remember all these things. So both aren't working. Have the ports worked in the past with another microphone (and can you try another mic now)?

Does your mic and headphone set only have a single plug or multiple, and have you tried different ports?

Thank you guys for all the support you gave me and I'm happy to say that I solved the problem by going back to Win XP
I think my PC wasn't compatible with Win 7 after all
Thanks for Everything

I don't recall you mentioning that you upgraded o.0

This will tell you if you are able to run WIN 7. Don't just give up when you encounter a problem. Especially when there are less than 15 posts in this thread!

Comparable to Win 7, xp is horrible. Win 7 is much better at fixing issues, but perhaps you are right when you say your hardware may not be compatable with Win 7. Have you downloaded all drivers?
