R7-572
Andrea NC-181 analog headset

There are a ton of forum posts about Windows 8.1 and headset not working.  Not only can I not get an external mic to be recognized, I can't get the internal mic to work at all.  Specifically, I have an analog headset I use for speech recognition, and I desperately need it to work soon.

 

I have dug through all settings I can possibly find.

I'm disappointed that with all posts that no one has provided a solution.
