If your microphone is plugged into the back port of the Sound blaster card, you need to use the Creative Control Panel to change that port from line-in to Mic.

hmm, thanks only thing that was different was in speaker properties microphone fp, change that to mute and it seemed to fix everything, even static noise is gone.

originally i got Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series Sound Card but having issues with it, can the onboard sound card get the same 3d sound for gaming? i plug it and the the sound works but mic doesn't, what are my options for best sound?

"Same 3d sound" is a matter of perspective. It won't have the advanced EAX effects, right off. And any HRTF algorithms used to make headphones provide true 360-degree-surround are also out.

well, plugged into the sound card it does work but not the mobo, plus its wierd on the sound card i can hear myself which is very annoying.

Yeah, the X-Fis default to that. No idea why. It's easy to turn off, though. IIRC, you have to mute the mic playback within Windows.

I've attached a couple screenshots showing how it looks on my system (note which items are muted, and which aren't)...

Playback device properties:
[attachment=0]

Recording device properties:
[attachment=1]

(Effectively: 'mute' the mic in 'playback devices', but leave it enabled for 'recording devices')

My MIC has always work with onboard sound, P55. Why would the MIC not work on any other board? Perhaps your MIC is bad, the cable or the MIC Jack? I would assume that many others would be complaining on the MIC not working with the OnBoard should being used. Very, Very Strange. Why would any MFG design and build a mobo with the onboard Sound / MIC not working?
