Guys bought new Philips SHM 1900 Headphone with mic. Worked perfectly on Laptop. But i wanted it for Desktop. I plugged in the rear. Speaker i.e Green Jack is proper. But i have connected my mic to pink one and it isn't working. Not even getting detected, no pop-up balloon.
My Motherboard is Biostar TA790GXB A2+.

Dont know how, just kept on right clicking and automatically it shifted to rear jack. But volume is bit on the lower side. Any Solution?

You can generally increase the recording volume from the sound settings in the windows control panel.
