    Cannot use headphones and microphone at the same time


    Hi, on my windows 10 computer, anytime I try to use my microphone, my audio immediately cuts out. I've fiddled with the sound control panel tons, but nothing seems to work. It happens no matter what kind of headphones I'm using also, so I'm really not sure what to do. I've looked around, but haven't been able to find any solutions that work for me, and this problem is really frustrating anytime I want to play a game and talk with others while playing. Please let me know if anyone has an idea as to what might fix this, it would be greatly appreciated!

    :)

    Headphone with built in microphone uses as Microphone, not Headphone


    Okay, so I have an Asus laptop with Windows 10. I am using an Ultimate Ears Headphone with built in microphone. The problem is that i want to use the headphone part, but all the the laptop registers is the microphone.
