Windows 10: Microphone is acting like a speaker on Windows 10 laptop

I bought a camera with a microphone installed too, but when I plug in the microphone jack to the mic jack on my laptop so there's only 1 jack, my audio mutes and the microphone doesn't work. I think that the microphone is treated as a headphone. Also, a day ago, when I plugged in my headphones or microphone, a popup appears and asks me what device I pluggedin. But now, it doesn't appear. The popup looks likethis.

Lumia 930 microphone doesn't work on speaker

Hi, I have same issue on Lumia 930, have tried the various steps proposed by Microsoft, have also tried updating software to Windows 10 but to no avail. While a number of posts on this topic suggest it is likely to be a hardware bug, my symptoms seem to
indicate software:

• while using the phone normally (not on speaker) the microphones work perfectly. IE microphones 1 and 2 at the bottom of the phone appear to be working 100%
• while using the phone on speaker, microphones 1 and 2 (see Problem with Lumia 930 second microphone - Page 2 - Windows Central Forums for good photos of microphone locations) seem to be completely off
• while using phone on speaker, microphones 3 and 4 at the top of the phone seem to work reasonably as long as I'm close to the phone. Not as well as they should on a speakerphone though.
• microphone on headset works fine

This does look to be a very widespread issue ... any updates from Microsoft?

thanks

 

Windows 10, Bluetooth speaker, microphone - how?

Laptop has Windows 10 OS.

Laptop also has Bluetooth feature.

I have external microphone headset (with headphones and microphone, the kind used for Skype).

I would like to know how to configure Windows 10 in such a way that when I plug in the microphone jack into the laptop socket concerned, and switch on the Bluetooth of laptop as well as the Bluetooth speaker, and keep it at a distance, I can speak into microphone
at my end, and the external Bluetooth speaker can be kept away among audience so they could hear me during presentations/meetings.

How to "pair" or link the laptop/microphone with the external Bluetooth speaker, and make them work in sync, in real time, without any time lag or echo effect?
