Guys i just bought a brand new headset here it is if you want to take a look at it...
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=103,CONTENTID=10011

The problem is that the mic (microphone) isn't working for me but the rest of the headset is working can someone please tell me the proper settings that are needed so i can function this microphone. It would be very appreciated.

Hope this helps, go to start,programs,accessories,entertainment,volume controll, then click file>>properties>> select input properties>> and then check microphone and click ok. Now go back to regular audio properties, make sure mic is not mute and then raise all the volume. Try to check if its working by trying to record something in the widows sound recorder.(same steps except instead of pressing volume controll u press sound recorder).

Now if this doesnt work, go to control panel, switch to classic mode if using xp ,click on an audio icon ( not the SOUND AND DEVICES ICON!), although that might be the only one u see. But if there is a different icon click it, (in my case its called Realtek HD soud....) now if its like mine, go to: MIXER tab>>> click the two little dots (maybe the options icon on the mic area) and select MICROPHONE BOOSTER. TRY TO FIND THE MIC BOOSTER.

Well hope this wasnt too confusing and that it does help.
