Mic picks up everything but not my voice?
Well, i've reset the sound settings, remove all special effects and tried the headset on a different computer which didn't work either, BUT when i tried on my tablet it worked fine. But in every computer in the house it ONLY picks up background noises like my typing, tv's in the background but not me. Even if i scream really high.

Try going into a quiet room and if that doesnt work, consult a pc specialist. Those are just my thoughts.:falkwreath:

Alternatively, adjust Microphone Boost level. I personally use +20dB.

Yeah, im not gonna do that. Though i did realize that it's not playing the background sounds. Its "streaming" the output sounds that should go into my headphones for some reason.

I think you've got StereoMix or the like enabled in sound input in that case.

Old post, but I believe it was a harware issue if I remember correctly, so I just bought a new headset which worked.
