The mic. lead could esily be broken where it goes inside the molded
plug... try by using it and wobbling the wire at the same time.
If this is the case then simply chop the plug of and have a new plug
fitted, you could do this yourself with a little dab at at soldering, of
course you'll need a small iron.
Sometimes the mic. socket can become loose or the connections
tarnished, simply squirt some switch cleaner...use nothing else and
certainly NOT Carbon Tetrachloride as this WILL melt the plastic, use
only the proper stuff.
I would squirt some on the plug... not in the hole and then simply
insert the plug and twist it round a couple of times.
Note that am assuming the plugs are those 3.5mm miniature headphone
type jacks.
Also check the wires by giving the 'wobble test' at the mic. end as
well. It's all the twisting, curling and pulling what causes the wire
to break. The best way really is to try the mic elsewhere or try another
mic.. as it could easily be the mobo socket.. or even a fault on the
sound card or whatever.
