Windows 10: Windows mistakes aux mic for speaker

I am using a windows 11 home computer with a Digitech aux microphone. It is going via an adaptor to my HP envy x360 ed-0xxx. When I connect the microphone to the computer, it thinks that it is a speaker and therefore plays music out the microphone. I have tried it on different computers and it has the same problem. However, it is a working mic because I plugged it into my electronic keyboard and it worked perfectly. I have tried to contact Digitech but have been unsuccessful in finding anyway to contact them.

Headset's Mic not working when connected to AUX?

Yes I have but it's still too low.

UPDATE:

So I think I found the culprit. The cable itself I connect the headset with has a low-quality built-in mic as well.
Connecting the headset with that cable into the microphone aux enables that mic instead of the mic built in the headset.

I was thinking of buying an aux cable without a built-in mic but I'd then need something like the following which I can't find anywhere.




Does such a cable actually exist?

Hi,

I know it's an old post. But looks like I am in the same situation as you were. Did you find the solution for it ? Did you try a 2.5mm TRRS (4 poles) male to 3.5mm TRRS (4 poles) male connector wire ?

when you maxed it, did you use the levels tab, and max both sliders?
