Windows 10: How to use laptop mic when using headphones Conexant Audio?

My laptop mic works better than the mic in my headphones. I've tried everything to fix that, but it doesn't work. Is there a way to use the laptop mic instead?

:)

 

headphone mic not working.

Thank you for this reply I finally figured it out , the main problem is when we install the Conexant audio driver it overwrite the previous Realtek audio driver so the headphone mic not work. to fix this you must reinstall the Realtek audio driver download
from realtek.com it will work with any laptop device and any mic like headphone with inbuilt (eg. Microsoft Lumia 650 headphone).

Please give other this soluction who have problem with headphone and mic and tell then to install Realtak audio driver.

Again thank you for all your replies, I finally figured out the solution.

 

How to get laptop mic working with headphones

My laptop has a dual headphone/mic jack, and I have a headset with a microphone built into it. Whenever I plug it in, the laptop's in-built microphone is disabled and the headset takes over. I'd like to use the (higher quality) laptop mic instead of the
(very grainy) headset mic while still having the headphones plugged in. Is there any way of doing this? There appears to be just one recording device called "Microphone (Conexant smart audio device)". When the headphones are unplugged, it registers sounds
through the laptop mic, and when they're plugged in, it registers sounds through the headset instead, which I don't want.

 

Conexant Audio w/Headphones

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop using Windows 10. Conexant SmartAudio HD is working with my laptop speakers but not my headphones.

I have tried, in order:

-Right-click sound icon -> troubleshoot sound problems

-Right-click sound icon -> Playback devices -> ?? (no headphones showing)

-Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers -> right-click Conexant SmartAudio HD -> Properties -> Drivers -> Update drivers -> Restart

[note: there are also 'Intel(R) Display Audio' and 'NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)' icons under Sound, video and game controllers, but I'm assuming Conexant is the one I need to be concerned with]

-Uninstalling Conexant from Device Manager, restarting, and Googling latest drivers for my device (which I got from here: Download Toshiba Conexant SmartAudio HD Driver 8.66.6.52 for Windows 7, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8 64 bit, Windows 8.1 64 bit, Windows 10, Windows 10 64 bit), download and installing those.

I've run out of ideas, any help is appreciated. Sound still works fine without headphones, but isn't working with them, and the headphones are still not showing up in the Playback devices.
