    Inspiron 3668 headset port - microphone not plugged in


    When I try to use the headset port, I can hear sounds but microphone is not working. Under Sounds -> Recording, Microphone is shown as "not plugged in". Is the headset port of Inspiron 3668 desktop a TRRS or just TRS?

    :)

  3. Computer won't recognize headset microphone


    Ok, so, i did a couple of things. First i checked in the computer manual to see if it was a TRRS audio port, to which it stated "microphone, or headphones or microphone and headphones combination." This proves that it is a TRRS audio port.

    Next, i went onto my dell inspiron 15 -7559, which is my work computer (which has a single TRRS audio port). I plugged the headset in and something came up, asking me what i plugged in. It seemed to be a dell program. It had options such as Speaker, Headphones, Headset (with mic). I selected the Headset (with mic) option and bam, the microphone worked.

    So what i was thinking, could my main computer with the troubles have something that has already determined that what i am plugging in is just headphones?
