Alright...well I'm pretty sure I did both of those and it still didn't work, but i'm not sure about the unmuting in the playback. I'm almost 100% sure that I unmuted it in the playback....I know 100% that I chose the Microphone though for the recording, so when I get home tonight I'll do that as well and check see if that was the problem.
And also, its definately something with the settings, cause the card and headset is brand new, and I just exchanged the headset for a different one today and still couldn't get it to work.
So if this dosen't work, or i've already done that, what else can I do?
*Edit*
Also, some guy told me "my drivers weren't updated properly, so he got me to re-install the drivers, now its like...well, I dunno if its messed up or not, but theres something missing from what I had before.
First off, the drivers size from before what the computer guy installed, (which is a friend of mine, I know him and talk to him every once in a while) the size was 200 MB.
Now with the new drivers, its only 80something MB. And also, there was a program that he told me to uninstall called "Sound Blaster PCI"
Is that important? Because its not there anymore, but my sound and everything is still working.
