Windows 10: The microphone of earbud cannot be detected

I just bought new earbuds with a built-in microphone. I tested it and it works perfectly on my phone. But when I plug it into a laptop using Windows 11, the system only detects the headset and cannot use the microphone.

Earbuds microphone[Solved]

Hello I have some random earbuds with microphone but they work in phone. When I plug them into pc into mic jack it doesnt work. When I blow straight into microphone it doesnt detect any sound but when I blow into headphone it does. I tried turning volume up, changing all settings. Like all of options and nothing worked. I also tried different earbuds but they didnt work as well. I also tried to plug them into my sisters laptop but neither my nor other earbuds worked... I did not yet tried splitter but I will soon, but I dont know if this would help because built in mic should work when connected to microphone jack slot. When I plug them into headphone slot I they play sounds but I cant set mic to work. Any solutions ?

 

Computer thinks earbud speakers are a microphone, ignoring the actual microphone

Hello, I have been trying to connect my earbuds to my computer as a microphone, however, even though the earbuds I have tried to connect (and I have tried quite a few) have a microphone, windows will not detect the microphone part as the microphone, instead
it will the detect the speaker part.

Like, it takes each earbud as a microphone. It sounds like some very low stereo microphone, and only picks up sound when I put right next to my mouth.

At the same time, when I speak into the actual microphone, the audio is not detected at all.

It works fine on my phone, it reads the microphone as a microphone and the earbuds as earbuds.

But my computer seems... severely confused.

I have tried several different earbuds, all to the same result.

I didn't even know it was possible to pickup sound from the speakers, but it isn't loud enough to be usable, unfortunatly.

I am sorry if this wasn't very clear, this situation is kinda odd and I'm not very good at explaining myself.

 

Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

• In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
  
• In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
  
• In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab

So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?
