Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

• In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
  
• In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
  
• In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab

So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?

 

Headset mic

Someone please help me my laptop won't detect my headset mic. It detects the headset but I can't hear anything from it and if I speak into the mic it just uses the laptop mic instead of the headset mic. (I don't know if this is important but my headset
is an astro a10 wired)

 

Laptop using built-in mic instead of headset mic

Why hello!

I've recently received a headset with a 3.5mm 4 pin TRRS headphone jack. The output works fine, as in I can hear audio when wearing them, however my laptop is still using its own in-built mic instead of the headset mic. As an aside, I've tested using the headset with my phone and in this case the mic worked fine, just not with my laptop. Yes, my laptop does have a combined headphone and microphone jack so this is not the problem.

Here's a list of specifications:

- JBL Quantum 200 headset

- Dell Inspiron 5482 2-in-1 laptop

- Windows 11 Pro

And here's a list of 'solutions' that I've already tried and haven't worked for me:

- Ensuring all apps are allowed access to the microphone through the privacy settings

- Updating and rolling back the correct Realtek audio drivers

- Attempting to change the input device to the headset microphone in Waves MaxxAudio Pro

- Making sure the mic isn't muted ... yes, I'm sure

- Looking for my headset mic in the control panel sound settings under recording devices (see screenshot below). The only available option is the Realtek microphone which is the default recording device. Apparently Realtek should automatically switch over from the laptop's in-built microphone to the headset microphone when it's plugged in and therefore a separate entry for my headset microphone doesn't need to pop up in this window when it's plugged in. However upon testing that the Realtek mic here is using my headset, it isn't. It's still using my laptop mic. Oh and yes, 'show disabled devices' is ticked so there's nothing hidden.

Hopefully that's all and I didn't miss anything, I'd be really grateful for your help!
