Windows 10: how do i use the microphone of my earbuds in my desktop?

hello. I'm trying to use the microphone built in my earbuds, since this desktop has separate input jacks (green one audio, pink one audio input and blue idk) I can only plug in to the green one to hear stuff, but can't use the microphone.

Had the idea to use other, older earbuds to plug in to the pink input so I could use this as a microphone, but it doesn't seem to work: Windows simply ignores it. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Microphone VS Earbuds

my sony earphones were destroyed, so I've bought earbuds instead of it. These earbuds have their own mic under button (there is a button on the cable, that enables microphone from earbuds). Yesterday I've unfortunately clicked this little button, and my
mic in the laptop has been changed for this one in earbuds. now my microphone in the laptop isn't working, even with unplugged earbuds

 

Earbuds microphone[Solved]

Hello I have some random earbuds with microphone but they work in phone. When I plug them into pc into mic jack it doesnt work. When I blow straight into microphone it doesnt detect any sound but when I blow into headphone it does. I tried turning volume up, changing all settings. Like all of options and nothing worked. I also tried different earbuds but they didnt work as well. I also tried to plug them into my sisters laptop but neither my nor other earbuds worked... I did not yet tried splitter but I will soon, but I dont know if this would help because built in mic should work when connected to microphone jack slot. When I plug them into headphone slot I they play sounds but I cant set mic to work. Any solutions ?

 

Computer thinks earbud speakers are a microphone, ignoring the actual microphone

Hello, I have been trying to connect my earbuds to my computer as a microphone, however, even though the earbuds I have tried to connect (and I have tried quite a few) have a microphone, windows will not detect the microphone part as the microphone, instead
it will the detect the speaker part.

Like, it takes each earbud as a microphone. It sounds like some very low stereo microphone, and only picks up sound when I put right next to my mouth.

At the same time, when I speak into the actual microphone, the audio is not detected at all.

It works fine on my phone, it reads the microphone as a microphone and the earbuds as earbuds.

But my computer seems... severely confused.

I have tried several different earbuds, all to the same result.

I didn't even know it was possible to pickup sound from the speakers, but it isn't loud enough to be usable, unfortunatly.

I am sorry if this wasn't very clear, this situation is kinda odd and I'm not very good at explaining myself.
