Windows 10: windows 11 PC won't pick up audio or microphone

I recently got my first PC and I was trying to connect my headset into my PC but whenever I tried plugging it in any of the 3.5 headphone jack my PC is not notifying me of a connection. I just got a audio splitter to be able to use both my mic and headset but not even with the splitter is it detecting anything, any help would be much appreciated

Microphone picking up PC audio

I've been struggling with this for a long time and decided to post the question here. For some reason my microphone is picking up all of the audio from my pc. I have already tried a lot of things.

Mix stereo is turned off

The microphone is not picking up physical sound from my headphones playing too loud because it still picks up sound even when I manually turn off sound in my headphones

Listen to this device is turned off

My microphone basically acts as if I turned on mix stereo but a bit quieter. It's been really annoying me and I have no idea what to do

I'm running windows 10 if it helps
