Microphone only picking up system sound

[Jakal]

I had this problem when I first built my pc. The microphone on my headset would only pic up system sound. I solved this by buying a separator to separate the mic from the headphones so I can plug each into their respective inputs. This worked however, the problem has come back and I don’t know what happened. I have updated anything and I’m still using the splitter. It was literally working one second, and then not working another. Anyone else having this problem or know a solution?

Can you please advise the operating system and whether you are using onboard sound or an add on card, and are the drivers up to date?

Further to Gus’s request above, Have you tried using the Motherboard Jacks, rather than tower Jacks?
