    Headphones making loud sound when plugging in the headset mic


    i hope this is the right place to ask this : So this problem started today:I have a headset with attached mic. The headset is connected to the computer via 2 3.5mm plugs, one for the sound, one for the mic as it is normally.When I plug in the sound cable, the headset works fine. I can listen to music/videos etc without an issue.However, as soon as I plug in my mic via cable, the headset makes an incredibly loud static sound that I cannot turn off unless I unplug the microphone again. The static is not produced when I try to talk through the mic or anything but constantly comes through the

    Mic/Headphone ports not working correctly - Acer Aspire 7745

    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.

    Headset mic

    Depends on the specs of your hardware, you have not given enough detail.

    PCs are normally separate Headphone and Mic sockets.
    Laptops a Combo socket (TRRS).

    Headsets usually come with adapters to cater for both scenarios.

    My headset has a Combo plug (TRRS), and an adapter for separate Headphones and Mic sockets.

    You can plug the Headset Combo plug in to a Headphone only socket, but the Mic won't work. there is no second R contact.

    Launch and Run the Windows 10 audio troubleshooter, from the Start Menu. Preferably with Headset plugged in, otherwise use ordinary Headphones.
