Windows 10: Combo jack How to force output only

i've been having this question since i use laptops, but now it started to bother me, because i use my earphones to chat on my pc, but the audio quality of the mic on them is really bad.


Is there a way to make windows not to recognize audio input from the jack?

The Lenovo site doesn't detail exactly what type of jack you have. It is listed as "combo jack". That could mean it can either be a headset OR mic jack, depending on what is plugged in. It could also mean it is the same type of jack that is on an iPhone that will take a combination Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve type plug for BOTH headset and mic.

As this is new, I would contact Lenovo support before going any further.

 

1x Headphone/mic combo jack not working

Got the same issue. My laptop is Asus K401LB. 1x combo audio port. I have tried using combo jack audio splitter, but won't detect external microphone. Search google on it but nothing solve the problem. I really don't wanna use USB soundcard, so please
fix this issue. Its diffrent using combo jack and USB soundcard.

The earbuds I have are for listening and mic and I will try contacting lenovo.
Here's a pix of the plug:




I did try a non-conductive probe to determine the depth of the receptacle and found that the depth and length of the plug match, but I'm still leery about using excessive force trying to seat the plug.
