because its brand new? i had this problem ages ago, my mic was muted if u r using teamspeak, configure settings on there ventrilo etc. and also make sure ur mic is not muted in CP!
Its not muted, I checked in all the programs I use and on the mic controller itself, mute is ok and volume is ok.... I dont really wanna rip the wires open...what if I decide to sell it, it wont go to well like that... would a usb headset be better? raising the prize also xP
