Windows 10: Jack Mic is not catching any sound!!!

I have an Alienware M17 R5 AMD. The built-in microphone works pretty fine. However, when I use my external earphone which comes with a mic, the earphone speaker works fine, but the "jack mic" does not work. The jack mic is visible when I switch "Headphones" to "Headset with microphone" in Realtek Audio Console. The problem is it doesn't catch any sound which I have cross-checked in many ways, especially in the "Sound" settings. I have tried every possible way to fix it, likeswitching from "Headphones" to "Headset with microphone"running troubleshootertesting using different platformsunin

Rear mic jack and line in jack not working - windows 10 detects when mic is plugged in but no sound recorded. Mic works fine in front jack

Please help! My mic does not work when plugged into the rear mic jack or line in jack. The speakers plugged into the rear jack work fine - on the same group of ports as both the rear mic jack and line in jack.

The same mic works fine when plugged into the front mic jack.

Windows detects when the mic is plugged into either rear mic jack or line-in jack. When it is the only mic is is labelled as the default device.

BUT the mic can't pick up sound. When I test it it reports max detection 0db. The levels are set to 100% and max mic boost.

I have run the troubleshooter and it can't detect any problem.

I've searched through previous questions which are similar but don't seem to give the answers... and many seem to talk about realtek sound devices but these don't seem to be realtek, it says they are microsoft devices.

for all three of these input jacks

I have checked drivers and it says latest drivers are already installed.

the device IS enabled.

I have set the privacy setting ON so apps CAN to use the microphone

all three input jacks are on the controller - 3 - high definition audio device manufacture is microsoft; Location 0 (Internal High Definition Audio Bus)

the properties information says they are working properly - for all 3 jacks.

What I want to be able to do is use both the front mic AND one of the rear mic inputs at the same time

but at the moment, neither of the rear jacks work even when nothing is plugged into the front one.

How do I enable the rear jacks to work and detect sound?

Do I need to do anything to make the rear jacks detect sound independently from the front jack at the same time?

hoping someone can help and thank you.

 

Combo headphone jack does not detect mic

Sorry. right click on speaker in systray, click on playback. The "Sound" window opens. Click on Speakers tab, likely already there, click on your headset, assuming its plugged in, click on properties. In general tab it shows jack.

I suggested through speakers as you said mic did not show up on Recording tab.

 

Combo headphone jack does not detect mic

So, I have a laptop with a single headphone jack, and it has the little symbol with both an headphone and a mic.
I have bought a V-moda boom pro mic. The microphone is integrated in the cable, and the tip that goes in the jack has four "parts", as it should be. The headphones work just fine, the moment I plugged it in the sound came to my headphones, but the computer just keeps using the integrated mic instead of the one on the cable. I have checked the sound settings, nothing changes, neither in the Realtek manager.

The microphone came with a splitter, and i even tried plugging in only the mic part, but still nothing.

unfornatly, i don't have any other exterernal mic to test the jack with, and as far as I know, everything is updated
