Windows 10: Headset Microphone not found

I have bought an Asto A10 headset and have plugged it in. The sound quality is great and enjoying the headset - however, when playing with friends using a different microphone, they say they can hear my keyboard and I think using the mic on the headset would make this quieter, but my PC cannot find the microphone on the headset or I cannot find where to enable the microphone. I have other microphones plugged into the PC but when I go into Settings-System-Sound and then click choose input device, the headset microphone does not show up. I have made sure all drivers are up to date and have tri

Computer won't recognize headset microphone

This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.
