Can barely be heard on mic unless right next to mouth

[cwhiting77]

Hello,

I had purchased the Omen Headset 800 and it worked flawlessly until one day I was using the mic and could not be heard unless it was right next to my mouth and even then it was quiet. The mic had worked before I am not sure as to what happened or how to solve it. I have checked all audio settings that has to do with the headset and even reinstalled drivers to no avail. I did try a mic and headphone jack to a usb adapter and the problem is solved but everything sounds terrible. I wish to use the analog jack on my laptop as I have been as the sound quality through that is amazing. The analog port is only one port with the capability to host different types of audio devices. I have read that maybe the port is not supplying enough power to the headset but I am not sure that is the case if it had worked fine before.

Any help with this would be appreciated thanks.
