Make sure you plug in the microphone securely and also press your PC connectivity cable into the correct jack harder until you feel two firm clicks.
  
• Connect your headset to another computer to test. If it fails to work either, chances are the headset is physically damaged, and you should contact Logitech for further assistance.
