Sound & Mic Query - Gigabyte Aurus Elite X570

[Mark Hankinson]

Hi

I have the below motherboard. I now need to be able to have uadio - both receiving it and providing it for online interactions. If I have understood correctly, the motherboard has a mic connector - i have plugged in a headset to the mic socket and can transmit sound but not receive it. Any ideas on how to get a headset working with this motherboard?

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Apologies for the delay in responding.

Yes the headset has a built in mic and over the ear speakers. It only has a standard 3.5mm jack - so 1 plug. I presume I need one with multiple connectors to take advantage of the motherboard. Alternatively would a sound card be useful - would that be able to take a headset?

Many thansk for your replies. Very helpful.

The headset is currently used on my laptop as speakers/mic. I wanted to use for simple communication on the desktop too.

I like the idea of both the external sound card and the usb headset. I will probably get the headset to try.

Many thanks again.
