Windows 10: Realtek HD Audio Manger has no option for microphone input device

I am using an external mic, this one: https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Profe...eo-20&linkId=81ec33b1fc6ddd1f09e1629e9201ddde

I am having issues using it, as there is no option for a standalone microphone. Is there a fix to this, or is this laptop not able to use an external mic via the jack?

Elegiant BM-100FX Microphone and Realtek HD Audio Manager issues

Hi,

• My Windows 10 build is 15063.540.
• I have tried to use it before on my computer, but when I get to the RealTek HD Audio Manager screen it doesn't show Mic In as it should, and updating the drivers and getting a new version doesn't work.
• I don't receive any error messages
• No, it doesn't show up in Audio inputs and outputs, only the RealTek High definition audio Microphone and Speakers.

 

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.

 

External microphone really quiet (Realtek HD Audio-Manager)

Hello,

I have a problem with the Realtek HD Audio-Manager. I bought a new headset a few days ago. It is working fine on the Playstation, tablet and on my mobile phone. However on my Notebook it is very quiet.

I plugged it in but the I think the Realtek HD Audio-Manager puts the internal microphone and my external microphone into one microphone array (well, that's what at least is showing in the system settings).

So even though I set every audio setting to maximum, the microphone is still very quiet. I also updated the drivers and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio-Manager.

Once when I deinstalled the Realtek HD Audio-Manager and I tried the troubleshooting it somehow worked fine for a few seconds. But then it reinstalled Realtek HD-Audio-Manager automatically and the microphone was quiet once again.
