Windows 10: Mic problems

I use a Steel-series Arctis 3.

I just got this headset and when I tried to test out the microphone on Microsoft voice recorder it sounded like I was far away from the mic but I was right next to the mic (almost eating it). I have tried other microphone devices and they have all had the same issue.


I have tried the troubleshooter, uninstalling and re-installing the device, updating the driver and I even unplugged and re plugged the cord on my motherboard but still the same issue.

USB Mic Problems.


The next step is what I suggested originally. Try it in a friend's PC or take it to Best Buy and ask them to try it one of their PC's. Have to confirm the mic is working OK.

Headphone mic not working with laptop 3.5mm port

I have sennheiser hd4.40 wireless headphone. I also got a cable with headphone having 2.5mm pin(attached to headphone) to 3.5mm pin(attached to mobile phone).

Problem is that when i connect 3.5mm pin to my mobile phone headphone jack, in call i am able to use mic and headphone both at same time but:

1. When i connect the 3.5mm pin to 3.5mm jack for mic on my laptop, i am not able to use the mic.(my laptop has separate 3.5mm mic and 3.5mm headphone jack)
   
2. When i connect to 3.5mm jack for headphone, only headphone is working with laptop not mic.
   

Please do not suggest why I am not using Bluetooth because it is a separate problem.

I am missing something or maybe this may be limitation or something else. Help me on this. :-(
