ASUS S56C can't be used with an external microphone

[annareyes]

My ASUS S56C Ultrabook has only one jack for both an external and external speakers. Headphones and speakers work great but external microphones do not work at all. A notification from RealTek pops up when I plug the microphone in but the microphone is never shown in the list of Recording Devices.

Does anybody know a way how I can still use my external microphone?

Hi, what you need for that particular jack is an adapter like this one : http/www.everbatim.net/store/index.php/headphone-microphone-jack-splitter.html
