I guess you're right, idk about sending a report to steam though - do you think they'd care? It's something that I bet not a lot of people use so I doubt they'd pay much attention, might be useful in the long-term though, if support ever reads for once what you are trying to say.
Otherwise I am considering a PC mic for my headphones as that would provide the clearest audio I suppose + long enough cable, but the official one was $30 + some $10-15 for shipping, so I was a little doubtful on betting my money on it directly. And a decent USB sound card would cost me a lot more than that anyway.

You're right I guess, I'll give it a try. I am pretty much hoping I'll never need Steam support for anything as all the times I've needed them so far they've proven rather useless. And all the comments showing automated answers 99% of the cases don't help either.
The Logitech thingy looks decent. I didn't know they had one tbh, I respect them as a brand overall and it probably wouldn't give me that headache now. Thanks for the tip.

Steam has been doing something wonky with sound lately. I know without more info this isn't too helpful, but I've noticed things being a bit janky with Steam open, Winamp running and playing WoW...the second I closed Steam (for unrelated reasons) the sound behaved normally sgain.

Idk if that's directly connected to Steam tbh, I had some bugged drivers issue some months ago where I could play audio from 1 source at a time, otherwise the audio came from the left speaker only. I don't remember how I fixed it exactly, I think I uninstalled and installed the sound drivers again.
Check if this doesn't happen with other software besides Steam, if it doesn't, then maybe Steam (un)officially declared another war to Blizzard, lol.

Hey folks, was wondering if you had any idea why my poor sound tech attempts are going so bad.
I got myself good headphones lately, but they only came with an iPhone mic which doesn't work directly on my PC, or at least not on the jack in my speakers station as I can't really access the cables on the back of the PC rig with the headphones on.
So I bought this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/121259802171?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and a splitter - http://www.ebay.com/itm/330624451258?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I know Ebay, I know China, but for like $2 I had to try. So far so good, it installed without additional drivers and Windows recognizes it as a USB Audio device or something like that. I can record audio and all, so great - but when I tried to test it on Steam, Steam just crashed. Opened it and any time I went to Settings - Voice, it crashed the whole client. Repeat 5 times.
Steam worked normally again when I unplugged the thing. But any idea why the heck it did that? I was kinda scared to put a USB thing that didn't came from some legitimate source into my rig so I tested it on a laptop first and it didn't seem to install some nasty stuff somehow. But I have to say I didn't check so well too.
So, any ideas?
