Headset mic not being recognised

[Yeungster]

My headset mic is not being recognised, as a result I can hear everything fine on discord and skype but I cannot talk. I have tried various different headsets and earphones but none of them work, I have also tried them on different devices and they worked fine. I have updated all drivers but still no change. 

Hoping someone will be able to help

Thanks in advance 👍
