With WIN7 it automatically detected whether I had plugged in my USB mic/headset but sometimes with WIN8 it will not. I go into CONTROL PANEL>SOUND and then manually enable the headset and/or disable the other audio devices so the headset id the only device left enabled. Sometimes it requires a logoff/login to enable it. Awards

Go to the sound in control panel. Open it up select the recording tab. Then highlight your mic and select properties. On this page select levels! See if it has become muted somehow. My old mic would mute itself all the time even in game! vIf this is your problem just keep a watch for it in the future. If not I am out of ideas! Good luck! Awards

But they DO play in my kindle and my phone. Could it be where they jack into the pc itself? And why wont they also work in the front panel, why does that not work?? Awards
