Windows 10: Realtek audio won't recognize my headphones' microphone

My earphones and my headphones both have built in mics, but whenever I plug them in I only have the option to select mic OR headphone and if i select mic it doesn't work anyway. There is literally no way for that the computer will recognize that my headphones have a microphone. They work fine on every other device. What do I do?

Realtek HD Audio Manager thinks that headphones are a microphone

The headphones have no microphone attached to it. There is only one cord/plug.

I have popup enabled for when Realtek Audio Manager finds a device.





The ports being greyed out mean that there is no device plugged in (that it can notice). If a port is black, like in the above screenshots, that means Realtek HD Audio Manager believes something's plugged in there. The problem is that the Audio Manager thinks
the headphones are plugged into the microphone port, but they are actually in the headphone port.

If I go over to the microphone tab like you suggest, nothing changes.

 

Realtek Not Recognizing a Microphone

My windows 10 laptop s not recognizing my desktop microphone. Realtek doesn't even come up with a microphone check box when i plug it in, only headset, headphones, and output speakers.

The closest system I could find on the ASUS site was an ROG G750JM, which does not appear to have Windows 10 drivers for the audio.

You will have to use the ones now but you might check the Realtek site if you know the version of the Realtek audio.

Otherwise, I really can't offer any suggestions if the system is misreading the port. You might try plugging in a microphone and see if it picks up the wrong port. When you plug in the headphone, the popup should allow you to chose a Headphone and set
it up accordingly. Make sure you aren't using digital out..
