Windows 10: I want to use only my headset mic, not my laptop's mic array

I purchased a Razer Kraken X Headset during Cyber Monday and it thankfully came in yesterday. Unfortunately, when I tried connecting my headset, my laptop only recognized the output audio and not the input. When looking into it, I noticed that the only mic that it detected was a "mic array," and not the headset mic itself. I've tried every possible fix for it updating drivers, going onto control panel/device manager and editing stuff, enabling mic on applications, etc. however, my laptop only recognizes the headset as an output audio. No problems with the headset's output sound quality whats

my acer aspire 5 laptop wont recognize headset mics but will recognize headset speakers

i dont see the realtek mic array signal meter

 

Headset mic

Depends on the specs of your hardware, you have not given enough detail.

PCs are normally separate Headphone and Mic sockets.
Laptops a Combo socket (TRRS).

Headsets usually come with adapters to cater for both scenarios.

My headset has a Combo plug (TRRS), and an adapter for separate Headphones and Mic sockets.

You can plug the Headset Combo plug in to a Headphone only socket, but the Mic won't work. there is no second R contact.

PC Specs will help us help you.

What is the brand/model of the headset mic combo?

What front panel audio jack(s) do you have? Some are only mic or only headset, some can be either mic or headset whichever is plugged in and some are combination headset/mic.
