Yesterday evening i found out that my front mic input picks up my front output, but not the voice.
First i thought its my headset, which i dropped on previous day - maybe it short-circuited or something. But no, it's not and in fact i found out that it does not even matter if any headset is connected.
Then i blamed drivers/settings and/or windows 10. Turns out settings are fine, driver reinstall does not help, and it is not the windows either - my linux install and several liveusb's show the same behavior.
And then i checked ports on a back panel. Mic port on the back receives nothing but static, all the time.
All in all it looks like mic input on my audio is busted. What is odd, is that: outputs work perfectly, both mic ports are detected by OS and mic connect/disconnect events work. Also no clue how it did happen - it all worked on previous evening, and between here and there pc have spent all time in suspend.
Im still going to go to local asrock service, but i have to ask: is there someone who have encountered similiar problem before? Maybe there is something i've missed and the problem is not in hardware? (although i am 99.99% sure my mic input is kaput)
