Windows 10: How can I use my Apple EarPods mic and audio with my Windows 10 laptop?

So I have a laptop with one audio port. I'm thinking about buying apple earpods to contact my friends on sites such as Discord. Will I be able to use them? I know gaming headsets may be a better option but I'm really in love with apple's headphones. I have the Inspiron 14-3452.

Apple EarPods' mic not working

Hello, My IPhone came with earpods that has a built in mic, I play online games from time to time using these earpods and I would really like to use the mic as well so I can communicate with my team, however my HP 1000 Notebook PC does not recognise the
headphones even though I can hear perfectly fine through them, I would really like to use my earpods as headphones and as a mic so I don't have to purchase an external mic. How can I first get my computer to recognise the earpods then configure it to be used
as a mic as well.

 

Earpod's mic

Hello. I've tried using my earpod's mic on my computer but it seems it does not recognize it, the audio works just fine but the mic doesn't. I've tried to search for a solution but nothing seems to work.

 

Earphones Mic not working

Hi all,I have a Dell Inspiron 15 5577 Gaming laptop, running Windows 10 Version 1803 build 17134.165. My laptop has one 3.5 mm jack where I plug my Earpods (Apple's earphones with mic) to use it as headphones and mic always works but yesterday out of nowhere it stopped working. I checked my Earpods with my iPhone and the mic would work just fine but not with the laptop.

Realtek audio driver is already installed but there's no realteks audio icon to configure or make changes. When I connect my Earpods, I can hear through them but the mic doesn't work however if I speak close to the internal mic I can see that green bar moving up which exists in Sounds>Recording.

I updated the Intel graphic driver to the latest version 2 days ago and the Mic would work fine.

Few steps which I tried to fix the issue but didn't help:

1) Tried to setup mic: No go
2) Tried reinstalling/updating audio drivers: No go
3) Checked Microphone privacy settings and its ON
4) Unchecked Allow application to take exclusive control of this device: No go

Can someone help me on this?
Thank you
