Recently I downloaded a driver for my sound card to boost the sound on my speakers.
That worked fine but I noticed the my headsets microphone was no longer recognised to the computer.

I tried turning the on button on the microphone On and Off and Turning the volume On and off.
I've shut down the computer and turn it back on but no luck.
I've also tried trying the back Microphone Jack as well as the front jack.

The headphones work fine but the microphone on wont be reconsigned on the computer?

Help would be appreciated.

Plug the headset/mic cable into the standard mic jack, and go to Control Panel > Sound > Input.

Does is say 'Plugged in' under 'Line In'? Also right click on 'Line In' and ensure it's not disabled.

It just says Front Panel Jack and "Microphone"
But it also says that's for all the vacant jacks.
