Windows 10: Headset's built in mic only is recognized when it is plugged into the microphone jack.

When I plug the headset into the headphones jack I can hear audio but cant use my mic, and when I plug it into the mic jack i can use the mic but can't hear anything. Also the drivers for the mic and headphones appear separately in Device Manager when they are plugged into their corresponding jacks.

Microphone not detected in combo mic/headset with single 3.55mm jack

I have a combo mic/headset with single 3.55mm jack to plug into my tower. The PC has separate inputs for speakers and microphone. When plugging the single jack I have into either input only that part of the combo headset works. In other words, if I plug
the only jack I have into the speaker jack I can hear through the earpieces but my microphone remains "disabled" or otherwise undetected. If I plug the only jack I have into the microphone, I am assuming it is detected, but since I can't hear, I have't determined
that for sure. I have no other speakers; neither built-ins or accessories. So I can't just plug into the mic jack and listen through built-ins as there are none. I do NOT want to buy a splitter as the only ones I can find are 3.55mm female to dual-RCA male
converters. Additionally I know there is a way to tell the single jack to recognize both.

 

Headset Microphone not detected when plugged into onboard audio jack

Update.

As suggested here (Redirecting)

It appears the headset microphone is now working but is simply being lumped under the same name in windows with the built in mic. The program I am using to test the microphone lists Default and then Microphone array. Using Default it seems the headset mic is being used as muting it results in no input and specifically selecting the realtek microphone array results in the built in mic being used.

Thank you for the help!

 

PC not recognizing headset microphone

I just recently bought a Cyberpower PC with windows ten installed. I tried to use my built in headset mic to talk with my friends on discord, but it wasn't recognized. I have a turtle beach recon. I reinstalled the drivers, and it still says that there
is no microphone plugged in. If I plug the headset into the microphone jack I can't hear audio. What should I do? Do I need a splitter? Thanks.
