    Surface thinks my microphone is headphones


    Ok I recently got a clip on wired microphone and plugged it into my surface, but it didn't work. So I checked device manager, and it thinks it's headphones. What should I do? I don't think surface has Realtek Device Manager, but it has Realtek High Definition AudioSST

    :)

    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.

    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.
