Thanks for the info and advice. When I find out what a BIOS is I will
try a plug-in card and hope that solves the problem.

Getting the same from new cans rules out the headset. It's possible the
contacts on the inside of the mic. socket have become damaged and not
connecting, if so then replacing the socket is extremely difficult and not
advised. A better solution would be to disable the onboard sound and replace
it with a plug-in sound card as Frank suggests.
Before that though, try re-installing the soundcard drivers, sometimes it can
reset an errant software flag in the system. This is especially true when
these types of problems follow software updates.
While doing this, check if there is a newer version of the drivers on the
motherboard manufacturers site rather than use the ones on the CD that came
with the mobo.

It is beginning to sound like your sound card mic input is duff, or the the
card, or onboard sound system itself.
Not unusual for mic's to go AWOL, I had to replace a good headset because of
a duff mic, pity as the phones were really comfortable.
2 duff mics point to this.
If you are using onboard sound, then get a soundcard and bung it in (disable
the onboard first in your BIOS.

I have for some time used the following headphones, Canyon CN-HS1. On
Wednesday evening last I found the mic would not work so I unplugged them and
replugged them in which then brought up an MSI tic box. It asked the following
questions;
Line in. Line out.
Mic out. Rear speaker out.
Headphone. Centre subwoofer speaker out.
Side speaker out.
I ticked Headphone only which then brought up an insert in the main box
called Analog Back Panel showing three plugin points marked Blue Green Pink.
The Pink point was flashing, this is the Mic connector, at this point I assumed
the Headphones where u/s.
Today I bought new Headphones of the same make, tried them with the same
results, no Mic. I have had no problems listening to music or voice on both
sets of Headphones.
If there is anyone who could give me some advice on how to sort this
problem I would be most grateful
Regards
Thomas
