My first headset is a Halo 2 gaming headset, it got broke after a few months or so, but the wires are still connected, it's just the plastic piece holding the mic on the left headphone is broke, so my brother glued it, so now it stays up instead of dangling, sometime last year, i tried getting it to work on the PC, for some reason, no matter what i did, it wouldn't work, i tried putting the volume on it all the way up, i tried setting it as the default recording device, anything that had to do with sound and microphones/headsets, didn't work, so sever months later, i got a new headset, same problem happens, set as default recording device, made sure volumes were up, and it still didn't work, and just recently, i tried the Halo 2 headset on the Laptop, i had all the microphone and sound volumes up, it was very low, no matter what i did, i couldn't get it to go any higher, the only thing that works that i can use as a mic is the Rock Band microphone, i haven't gotten to try my second headset on the Laptop though, i'll have to check that out when i get a chance
tl;dr: Both of my headsets don't work, no matter what i do and only the Rock Band mic works for me
Why is this? D:
