Windows 10: External mic being recognized as headphones

Hi, my external mic is constantly being recognized as headphones. I have tried updating my audio drivers, even reinstalling them but nothing seems to work. I currently use RealtekR Audio and I have this problem. I tried downloading Realtek HD Audio but when I did my microphone wasn't even recognizable. Any suggestions?

External mic recognized as headphone.

Hi, I usually use my external mic to recording my tutorial. But suddenly my external mic dint pop up what used for device (mic in, line in....). I found that it recognized as headphone. I tried to find the Realtek Audio Manager but failed to open. Another
changes i found is my playback device always is showed "High Definition Audio Device (SST)", but suddenly it shows "High Definition Audio Device" only.





the photo above shows my external mic recognized as headphones.





The screenshot shows cannot find realtek HD audio manager in the device manager, cannot update driver.

Hope someone to tell me what problem i faced,software or is the mic problem? can i use system restore to get back like before?

 

Mic Will Not Be Recognized With Headphones

I have a computer with windows on it, and for some reason, one night my computer would no longer recognize my mic on my headphones when I plugged it in. I have tried rolling back drivers but that has not worked. I know the mic works because I have been
able to use it on my phone, and the port on my computer did work with mic + speaker together. However, I was recently able to get my computer to recognize the mic from the mic in slot, and the headphones from the audio out, however they don't work together.
I would really appreciate help.

The speakers are 'plugged in' already as it is a laptop. With no external mic, headphones or external speakers plugged in, the Sound Control Panel lists three things under 'Playback' - HDMI, 'Speakers' and 'Realtek Digital Output' - the Speakers under 'Playback' is set as the default.

Under 'Recording' with no external mic plugged in these are listed - 'Microphone', 'Line In' and 'Stereo Mix' (Disabled) - the microphone (in this case, the internal one) is set to 'Default' under 'Recording' as well.

I don't have my headset here to test an external mic right now, but with normal external headphones plugged in, there is no change to the Sound Control Panel under 'Playback' - the same three listings (HDMI, 'Speakers' and 'Realtek Digital Output') with 'Speakers' set as the Default. If I make a noise, say, play a video, I can see the sound meters move to the sound, but no sound comes out of the headphones.
