Windows 10: My PC doesn't recognize my headset's mic

I already bought an Audio and Mic Aux Splitter Cable for my KZ ZST headset but whenever I try to call in any messaging apps it doesn't recognize the mic of my headset so it doesn't let me push through the call.

My Jabra headphones can make calls just fine but it's a USB cord. So I wonder why it doesn't work for my KZ headset.

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.

 

Computer won't recognize headset microphone


Restart after disabling the XSplit. May not make a difference but worth trying.

What's left is the possibility the multi jack is the issue. A computer mic needs +5V DC to operate. If that is not being provided it could be a reason the mic is not detected or working. Another problem is the jack or internal components.

Since the separate mic jack works, you could get a splitter, to provide separate TRS plugs for the mic and headset and try that. If that still does not work, it suggests there is a compatibility problem between the headset and your PC (since you reported the headset/mic work in a game console).

 

Headset mike not recognized - can't open Audio Manager

Welcome to Ten Forums overlordfombax

I would first just like to check how exactly the gaming headset is connected to your PC...

• By a splitter do you mean both a mic and audio (red and green) jacks?
• Or is it all through a USB port?

I have found this picture of the headset here:




Would I be correct in saying that it connects through USB OR using a Audio 'combined' jack > Audio jack and Mic jack
Meaning that the USB OR the Audio jack and Mic jack are connected to the computer.

Edit: Also when you say you have tried the other computer. Did the drivers and the audio program install automatically?
In addition when it worked on the other computer, was it connect via USB or by using the two audio jacks?
