I have a laptop that has a output and a input hole for a headphone and a microphone but I only have a headset. How do I connect the headset to both the headphones and the built-in microphone?

:)

 

My laptop microphone isn't detected as an audio input device when I plug in headphones.

I have been using a pair of bluetooth headphones for the past couple of weeks with my laptop. I use the audio output of the headphones along with my laptop's built in microphone as it is better quality. Today however, windows stopped recognizing my laptop microphone as an audio input while my headphones are connected. I am able to use the microphone whenever the headphones are not connected. My microphone input is listed as "Microphone Array (AMD Audio Device)" and remains listed while the headphones are connected, but produces no sound and is not detected by programs like Sound Recorder.

It was working fine until I attempted to disable "Handsfree Telephony" to stop the audio quality from lowering. After I re-enabled this setting, I ran into the issue.

you may need extension cables or a usb adapter.

 

Microphone records input and output

I am using a DAW to record microphone inputs on various tracks.

When I hit record, the microphone picks up the DAW's metronome (output) as well as the sound I intended to record. When I play back the track, the metronome has indeed been recorded, along with all the other sounds picked up by the microphone.

When I start another track the input records both the microphone and the playback audio, including all previously recorded tracks and the metronome.

Listen to device has been deselected. There is no environmental effects tab for the microphone. All other inputs and outputs have been disabled. I have customized and reset to defaults from both the Windows settings/sounds panels and the DAW. The inputs
work, and the outputs work, I just want the input to ONLY record the microphone, not all other playback/output signals.
