Windows 10: Can't connect mic

Hello guys

I have a dedicated 3.5 mic which i usualy connect to my laptop. Since my 3.5 jack is both in/output, as i plug the mic a dedicated software windows appears and let me chose which type of device im pluggin in (mic or speaker)



The problem starts when i try to do the same in my windows 10 tablet (encore wt8-a).

When i plug the mic onto the 3.5 interface (which is also mixed, for input/output) there is no window to let me chose which device im connecting, so i lose my speaker capability and the tablet built in mic keeps working. The tablet is identifying the mic as a speaker and not as a mic.

How can i force it to work as it should? I have all drivers up to date but there are no options, even in the dedicated Dolby software. As i connect there isn't also any hardware change on device manager.



Thanks

USB Mic Problems.

The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

 

Suddenly my system won't use a mic

One important step, try your mic with a different computer.

 

Headphone mic not working with laptop 3.5mm port

I have sennheiser hd4.40 wireless headphone. I also got a cable with headphone having 2.5mm pin(attached to headphone) to 3.5mm pin(attached to mobile phone).

Problem is that when i connect 3.5mm pin to my mobile phone headphone jack, in call i am able to use mic and headphone both at same time but:

1. When i connect the 3.5mm pin to 3.5mm jack for mic on my laptop, i am not able to use the mic.(my laptop has separate 3.5mm mic and 3.5mm headphone jack)
   
2. When i connect to 3.5mm jack for headphone, only headphone is working with laptop not mic.
   

Please do not suggest why I am not using Bluetooth because it is a separate problem.

I am missing something or maybe this may be limitation or something else. Help me on this. :-(
