Have you...
...chacked the following?:
(Since you say you've tried several headsets, it appears to be either the physical connection to the sound card or improper settings within Windows.
It is also important to note that EACH TIME YOU MAKE A CHANGE OF a SETTING you should test your microphone before making any other changes! This will make it easier and faster to change back to the specific original setting before trying the next one.)
A) Connections:
...If direct to your sound card and your set is equipped with "mini" plugs, verify that the plugs are in the correct jacks. Usually they are color-coded, so verification is easy enough. If all is correct, check Windows settings.
...If equipped with a USB connector, verify that the USB port you are using is in fact operational. This can be quickly checked with a flash drive or other USB device. If the port is operational, check Windows settings.
B)Windows Settings:
...1)Go to Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices
......In the "Volume" tab, verify/set the Volume Slider to approximately 3/4 position and un-check the "Mute" box. Click the "Advanced" button. (This will bring up the "Master" control for audio devices connected or in your computer.) If there is not a segment for "Microphone" click "Options">"Properties". The Properties window will show which sound card you are currently using and give you the option to adjust volumes for Recording, Playback, and Other Devices. Leave the "Playback" radio button selected. Below, check any boxes that match your current PC configuration. These checked items (including "Microphone")will then appear as individual control sections of the Master Control. Click "OK". Now verify that all Volume Sliders shown are at the raised to roughly the 3/4 position. Verify a check is in the "Mute" box of the Microphone Section. Verify there is NOT a check in the "Mute" box of the Master section. Close the "Master" Window.
Now check your microphone using the Sound Recorder (Start>Programs>Accessories>Entertainment>Sound Recorder) If this does not work,
...Click the "Voice" tab. In each of the Drop-downs select the Sound Card currently installed in your PC. If you have both the on-board sound card and a separate sound card installed it is important you select the card used for your mic in the "Voice Playback" and "Voice Recording" drop-downs.
If you needed to make any changes check your mic using the Sound Recorder.
If the microphone still does not work you may need to adjust settings of the Sound Card using its proprietary software. I use a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and it has its own control panel with Level Meters for sound level checks. Your card may have something similar.
I hope this is helpful, but I make no warranties, either express or implied, etcetera.
If anyone sees I've missed anything, please chime in.

You have verified...
...that you need to change some settings in your computer.
Regardless of which sound card is enabled, it will not "recognize" your microphone.
You will need to follow the instructions above, and if still not working, go into your sound card software settings.
What sound card will you use? If it's not a Turtle Beach I can't help you further.
But perhaps someone else can if you post it here.
Sorry.

nappy,
The EXACT same thing was happening to me all last month. I thought it was part of a virus or an adverse effect from X-fire or something.
This might have nothing to do with your problem, but you know what it was?
It was the first sign that my keyboard was dying. Two weeks after my mute button kept getting mysteriously checked more and more keys began to malfunction. Desktop icons began flickering, IL2 and other programs began crashing to the taskbar, etc.
If you reeeeally get stuck, you might try a different keyboard?
