CREATIVE SOUND BLASTER RECON 3D MIC NOT WORKING DRIVER

The strangest thing though is that the audio works on the front jack, just not the microphone which is quite important as I'm using a headset.

HOWEVER! The main problem at hand is that my front microphone jack just doesn't want to be recognized, these worked perfectly before installing Windows 10 and the microphone does work if I put it in the audio jacks directly in the back of my motherboard which is a 'Gigabyte G1 Sniper M3'.ДЄs I frequently use my front jacks I'd like this problem to be fixed and I'd like to avoid going through the hassle of reformatting and downgrading back to Windows 8.1. So the configuration panel does seem to work now. Where the last post states to use an older Windows 8.1 version, which does seem to work after you enable compatibility for the control panel to set it for Windows 8. I searched around and found this thread on the Gigabyte Forums:

I've reinstalled the driver multiple times via the official driver page from Gigabyte and through windows itself which gave me errors while installing as well something related to the 'extra's' that couldn't be installed. Today I've formatted my PC and installed Windows 10, however the first and hopefully last problem I've encountered was that the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3Di config panel didn't want to operate and presented me with the following error: The current selected audio device is disabled, not present, not present by the application, or has unplugged jack connection.
