Windows 10: Windows 11 not detecting microphone in Headphones

Hello,Recently I have bought a new computer from Dell with Windows 11. I play video games and do school work which requires me to have both a functioning headphone and mic. Since my computer has a mixed audio and mic input on the front panel, I decided to buy headphones with a mic built in. The headphones audio worked perfectly fine, however, its microphone could not be detected by my computer. I've attempted uninstalling the driver and device, restarting my computer, unplugging my headphones, troubleshooting, and online strategies. Unfortunately, my attempts sadly failed and still my computer

Microphone on Headphones Not Detected (Windows 10)

I gave you many steps to force the headset microphone to show up. They would take more than an hour to perform, plus the way a forums works is interactively so we don't just give up after the first post but use feedback about your results to suggest more
steps.

Microphone on Headphones Not Detected (Windows 10)

I have the Astro A10 Headphones, which come with a microphone.

I have done a couple things to try and find the microphone, but it does not show up anywhere, as if the headphones don't have a microphone at all.

I've tried looking in the Recording tab of Sound on the volume mixer (I clicked on Show Disabled/Disconnected devices).

I've also tried looking in Device Manager under Audio Inputs and outputs.

These headphones are in perfect working condition but the microphone on them is not detected at all. In fact, I've had this problem across all headphones that have a built-in microphone. They are never, ever, detected anywhere, on the system.

Please help... My laptop's built in microphone is good, but it picks up the sound of my keyboard and mouse, as well as generally everything, too loudly.

It would be much better to use my headphone's microphone.
