Windows 10: Connect a line level audio feed to laptop headset connector

Am I right in thinking there is a microphone input available on the headset 3.5mm jack on a laptop?

If so, I would like to feed in a line level signal which I understand is at a much higher level, so some adjustment would be needed.

This link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7i6LJs3b6E suggests its possible but I am unconvinced.

Also do I need a TRRS plug to go into the laptop in order to access the mic input?

:)

 

Headset mic not working only in Windows 10 ASUS ROG laptop

This is not the common "I plugged the mic in the headphones jack" error (sadly), I'll describe the scenario and then what I've tried.

• ASUS ROG G750JW laptop running Windows 10 Home version 1903 (updated yesterday)
  
• HyperX (Kingston) CLOUD HX-HSCL-SR/NA headset
  
• RealTek High Definition Audio card
  
• 2 input jacks (headphones and microphone)
  

Problem: Only the integrated laptop mic seems to work (and it works fine), as soon as I plug in the headset mic absolute silence is present. Tried this:

• use the headset in another computer (ubuntu, 2 connectors) and phone (iOS, 1 connector), it works perfect
  
• plug just the headphone and use the integrated laptop mic, it works fine (skype, zoom, chrome, etc)
  
• updated audio drivers manually using Driver Easy, no luck
  
• updated Windows, no luck
  
• allow all apps to use mic (from audio settings), no luck
  
• using "Stereo Mix", no luck
  
• basically all items from this link, no luck
  

Interesting:

• the mic jack seems to work since each time I connect it a dialog appears telling me I just connected something
  
• VirtualBox is installed and it doesn't works there neither (ubuntu vm), disabled audio from all vm's in case there was a conflict and guess what, no luck
  
• when pluggin/unpluggin the mic I can see the sound level indicator bars move briefly (the green bars in device management, in mic properties)
  

Thanks.

Audio Levels Dropping

My audio levels drop after two seconds to barely audible. I have restarted, ran the troubleshooter, scanned for problems, keeps telling me everything is fine. It seems to fix it for a minute, then the problem arises again. It doesn't matter what format/app/feed
I use, problem is consistent.

Earbuds work fine, levels maintain.

Any suggestions?
