Windows 10: My external microphone is not recognized by headphones?

Hello everybody! I've really tried everything. But only the internal micro(input) is accepted and not the external. With the speakers everything is okay!

What can I do? Reinstalling the driver does not help!

External microphone not showing in the Recording tab

My Windows 10 laptop is not recognizing any external microphones. I have two headsets: a Bluetooth one and one for an audio jack. Both headsets work correctly on other devices. When I connect the headsets to my computer, I can hear audio, but the microphones
do not work.

Here are the steps I've taken so far:

• Updated drivers (they were already up to date)
• From Sound Settings, headsets do not appear as options for the input device
• Ran the microphone troubleshooter - headsets do not appear as options
• From Control Panel > Sound > Recording, headsets do not appear as options. I have selected the disabled and disconnected devices options.
• From Microphone Privacy, all apps have access to the microphone.
  

That's everything I found online to fix this problem. Any suggestions?

Old Title : Set up external microphone - not recognized - wizard error

Hi,

When I try to set up an external microphone, I get an error saying:

Message: The Wizard could not start. Make sure your audio hardware is working properly and check you audio configuration in the Audio Devices and Sound Themes control panel.

My external mic is not recognized and not working.

I'm using Windows 10 home, on a Lenovo g50-80. The mic is plugged in the combo audio jack using a splitter cable.

I tried all the steps at Cannot setup External MIC

No luck.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks!
