Don't fret ArchaicSpecter, I also ended up with a stupid fix. But a different stupid than your stupid, :).
After uninstalling drivers and iCue and reinstalling and reading forums, etc., I found that my USB dongle and 3.5 mm plug had become separated by like 1 mm. So it looked connected, and the headset worked, but the mic did not. Pushing the 3.5 mm plug in that last 1 mm enabled the mic. Doh.
So double check that your 3.5 mm jack into your USB dongle is ALL THE WAY IN.
