In an act of desperation check to make sure the header is wired correctly with your cousin's.

Thanks.
Had the motherboard replaced, so it can't be the motherboard either. My cousin has the same case, same wiring and his works just fine. In the UEFI settings all of the sound settings are either Auto or disable, tried every combination and nothing. Guess, I'm gonna have to get an USB headset. Thanks for all the help guys.

Nice case :) Well I'm stumped.
Your board has an HD AUDIO connector at the bottom left (item #26 in your manual) and your case has a prepinned HD AUDIO connector that can only be installed one way. The headset and mic both work on other computers,...so it's down to the motherboard or case wiring. I don't have access to your motherboard UEFI but I just checked my UEFI and there is an option in the chipset menu to change the audio from HD to AC'97,...for backward compatability. Please check your UEFI to ensure it is set to HD AND the front panel audio connector is connected on all the motherboard pins. Edited by clubfoot - 09 Mar 2017 at 12:47am |

I've been through all of the basic and obvious solutions, which is why I'm asking for help, because I don't know what else to check for.

Latest offical drivers:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false Good, you've eliminated the headset as defective. On the desktop, right click the speaker icon and select Recording devices and check to see that the mic has a green checkmark,...if not set it to default! Click properties and set the volume to 100% and boost to +20. OK. Select configure, set up microphone, headset microphone and follow the prompts. Windows will automatically adjust the levels. P.S. make sure the mic switch on the headphone cord is turned ON!!! With the latest RealTek drivers in the recording tab you can enable noise suppression and echo cancellation. |

Not sure, I tried the latest Realtek Driver (R2.81 from 2017/1/13)and the one on ASRock Website ( from 7/29/2015 )for my mb. The headset works (be it front or back panel), it's just the mic that doesn't, the PC recognises that a microphone has been plugged in, but it doesn't pick up any voices, just white noise. And both the headset and microphone work on other machines.

AC'97 is not supported by your board's audio chip, and your PC case would need to have an AC'97 connector on it if the board's audio chip supported AC'97.
AC'97 is an old audio connection protocol, not used on new boards for a while now. New PC cases don't even have an AC'97 connector on the front panel audio cable. Whomever told you, you need AC'97 had no idea what they were talking about. Have you installed you board's audio software, and configured the microphone and headset inputs in it? Also, the Windows Sound feature in Control Panel should at least be checked, and possibly configured. If none of that works, as said above, your headset may simply be broken. Usually it is the micro-cable into the connectors. |

If the mic and headset do not work on the rear panel you will need to disconnect the front panel audio connection to the motherboard,...it is "shorting" the audio chipset. OR,...you have a defective headset,...probably with damaged wires. |
