    Mic not detected with combo headphone mic jack on laptop.

    There are LOTS of these threads that are locked with no answer. It's very frustrating that there ins't a way to toggle windows to use the combo speaker or headset mic combo jack as a mic only when it's not detected automatically and only a mic is plugged
    in!

    Windows developers need to recognize that laptop manufactures are now and have been for YEARS only putting in a single audio jack and give us the ability to choose how windows uses the jack.

    3 options need to be easily accessible from the system tray sound icon.

    1. Combo Speakers/Mic. (default)

    2. Mic only.

    I'm only trying to hook up an external mic to the audio jack. I'll probably end up buying a USB mic adapter.

    Combo jack

    Please is there a way to force audio output so that it won’t recognize audio input form Combo jack? I use earphones for conversations on my Windows 10 PC but the sound quality of the mic is awful. Thank you...

    Earbud Combo-Jack won't fit.

    The Lenovo site doesn't detail exactly what type of jack you have. It is listed as "combo jack". That could mean it can either be a headset OR mic jack, depending on what is plugged in. It could also mean it is the same type of jack that is on an iPhone that will take a combination Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve type plug for BOTH headset and mic.

    As this is new, I would contact Lenovo support before going any further.
