I've had enough of this. Searching forums for quite a very long time, almost a year since my mic gone dead (but not continuosly).
Ok. I have a mainboard ecs p4m890t-m

I don't think more details are necesary about the mainboard. When I bough the desktop pc the mic worked but after 2 months it was gone. Wiped the hdd, reinstalled the OS, nothing.
It uses realtek hd input. Switch from realtek hd driver 2.24 to 2.2 even below, and even realtek ac'97 (funny, yeah..but I was mad)
Looked on many forum with the same problem nothing worked so I wanted to post myself maybe my system works differently.
Below is pic 1 of my sound manager configuration (I use headphones, speakers and mic in rear panel, front doesn't work but ain't interested)
As you can see Rear pink in is enabled in the output, but the Mic Volume is disabled in the Input section.
And now the funny part: so I can't use the mic, but when I play a sound / music in a player (I use winamp, didn't try with other) the sound gets thru (picture 2). Even more the Mic boost at the Rear pink in actually works (when enabled I hear a buzz from the power in my speakers)
Changing s/pdif settings didn't helped, changing the position of the jacks didn't help. Upgrading directx9 didn't work, drivers version didn't work (maybe you know one that does). Vista I think it didn't worked (don't remember), but I'm using xp pro sp2 .net v1.1,2 and 3 (don't remember if I've updated to sp3. updates are daily)
