    Microphone not working with combo audio jack


    My laptop only has one combo audio/microphone jack, and I can't get the microphone to work at all. I just bought a new headset that came with an audio/microphone splitter specifically for the purpose of using it on this laptop. While the output works fine, the microphone input is absolutely ignored.

    I am 100% positive this is an audio/microphone splitter (and not just an audio splitter) as it has 3 rings on the end of it (indicating that it is compatible with using a microphone), and one of the input jacks even has a microphone icon on it. Realtek Settings are nowhere to be found in Control Panel, and I couldn't seem to find anything in the system sound settings that would help me either.

    I've already spent money on this new headset, so as you can imagine I'm pretty frustrated that this is not working, and I really, really don't want to spend any more money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Front/Back 3.5mm microphone jack not working

    Hi Elijah,

    I am , a fellow Microsoft user like you.

    I understand that you're experiencing issues with your microphone jack on your new PC.

    First, have you tried using a different microphone or headset with your PC to see if the issue persists?

    This will help determine whether the problem lies with the headset or the PC's microphone jack.

    Additionally, could you please provide some details about the tutorials you followed?

    Knowing the steps you've already taken can help me avoid suggesting solutions you've already tried.

    In the meantime, here are a few general steps you can attempt:

    1. Ensure that the microphone is properly connected to the PC's microphone jack. Double-check that all the connections are secure.

    2. Update your audio drivers. Visit the manufacturer's website of your PC or the sound card manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers for your audio device.

    3. Test your microphone on another device if possible. This will help verify if the issue is specific to your PC or the microphone itself.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Let's work together to resolve the issue.

    Best regards,
