I recently got a new logitech cheap headset but i realised yesterdasy the microfone isnt working properly. My headset uses two plugs, one for the sound and one for the microfone, coloured black n pink respectively. Now I onticed on CS my mic was getting insane static and was unhearable. I have tried turning up volume in settings e.t.c but its still ******. I tried unplugging + replugging, even into other sockets but to no avail. I then pluggfed my old headset's micrfone (which definately works) and that wasnt working properly too, so it could either be the microfone socket (which I doubt) or some settings on my computer.

Any help?

1. It's microPHONE

2. Try looking in sound and audio devices, I know there is the option for a 10dB or something boost....turn that off if its on

after i go to volume and advanced only one window comes up with some bass options (which i cant edit becos it doesnt supoport them) and some 1 mic boost option, which was ticked. I unticked it but no change.
