    Computer won't recognize headset microphone

    This is what i see in device manager. Im not sure if the Speakers/Headphones (Realtek High Definition Audio) is the one your saying to disable, as that is what is default in playback devices in the sounds panel.

    Setting Stereo Mix as the default recording device and disabling everything else still didnt get the mic working, even when the headset is plugged into the microphone only audio port or the mic + sound audio port.

    I would assume I am using the Dell provided Realtek sound Drivers. Im not entirely sure though. Heres what I see in the same spot as your two images. The microphone that is disabled is the inbuilt microphone next to the webcam.

    Computer won't recognize headset microphone


    That looks OK.
    This is what I'm seeing in my Recording Panel and Device Manager. You should have something similar.
    Just trying to get this part straight away. Are you using the Dell provided Realtek sound drivers?
