Soundcard broken?

Just recently my mic started going to shit. I tried using backup mics and nothing worked. So I'm wondering if that's just two faulty mics or my soundcard being garbage and dying on me.

Help :(

EDIT w/ FIX
Wasn't actually a mic jack problem. I just unplugged a bunch of other 3.5 mm jacks that I had no use for to fix it. Don't know the reasoning behind it but w/e it works now :)

Try your motherboard's intergrated audio maybe?

Is it in tf2 only or is it always happening?

Have you tried using a USB microphone to control for the card?

#2 doesn't work, I've tried every single port and hole possible.
#3 it's happening everywhere. Mumble, skype, tf2, etc.
#4 I don't own a USB microphone so that's out of the question. I'm probably getting a 3.5 to usb adapter by the weekend so I'll edit with results then. (thanks protato)
