A40 headset microphone not recognized

So I'm rebuilding my Digital Storm rig after a bad rollback from W10.
The system is now stable with Falcon BMS running without issues. Sound is good, joystick is recognized and Thrustmaster external Multi Function Displays are working.
As I fly online, I use Teamspeak to communicate with others and here lies the rub.
I cannot get a successful voice test in Teamspeak.
I have an A40 headset plugged into the front panel of a Create SB Recon 3D PCIe slot. There is sound in the headphones and if I unplug them, sound works in the computer external speakers.
In windows control panel, playback is Speakers as default device.
Recording is Digital-In (SB Recon3D PCIe) and What U Hear (SB Recon3D PCIe) both with green checks as default device. The microphone is shown as not plugged in.
In Creative Trustudio I have headphones selected (this works both with the headphones or external speakers for sound) and in the Crystalvoice tab, the mike is shown as disconnected.
I have the mike volume full up on the front control panel of the SB card.
Obviously I am not sure what I'm missing and could use a third eye on this.
Thanks in advance,
Dukera

I don't do much with audio, but in the SB Control Panel , select Mixer I believe and see if the Front Panel box is available and select front panel for the Mic.  Or, Front Aux if an I/O.  


Edit... here's the link I had from awhile ago I'm getting the info from.

Hope this works.

If still an issue, I would update the SB drivers for your device.  Switching between OS can mess things up.
