I recently bought a timer used for speedcubing YJ timer. you can connect it to a computer so i can save my times. the problem is that the timer is supposed to be recognised as a microphone but is instead recognisec as headphones. it is supposed to connect to a website called CStimer. it isnt a problem with the site.is there any way to just manually change the recognision of the device?

Headphone with built in microphone uses as Microphone, not Headphone


Okay, so I have an Asus laptop with Windows 10. I am using an Ultimate Ears Headphone with built in microphone. The problem is that i want to use the headphone part, but all the the laptop registers is the microphone.


How can I change this, as i cannot watch videos without disturbing others.

 

Headphone microphone not working.

no plugged in cable


Plugged in cable (in front of pc)


Selected headphone


Selected Mic in


Clicked on cog (its same with Mic in and Headphone)


Wrench (also same with headphone and Mic in)


This is all i know btw when i click headphone it says mic is unplugged and when i do Mic in it says speakers are unplugged and mic is on.
