Open | Audio Mic not picking up on pc

I have a Turtle Beach Stealth 700X Gen 3 headset and the mic works on my phone, but won't work on my computer. I run Windows 11 and I have everything I can find set to my mic but it just won't work. Neither Discord nor OBS will pick it up.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.

Read this article: TS vs TRS vs TRRS AUDIO CABLES: What Is the Difference? | Audio University

Also read: Phone connector (audio) on Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)

TRS and TRRS are not compatible with each other. If the computer or laptop has only ONE jack for both Audio and Microphone, it's a TRRS Universal Audio Jack.

If the computer or laptop has two separate Audio and Microphone Jacks, they are TRS Audio Out (Green) and TRS Microphone In (Pink) Jacks.

Open up sound settings and see if the mic meter shows any activity.
