I just purchased a Kingston HyperX cloud II headset, and don't really like the sound it gives off in some games while using the USB dongle extension. It comes with 1 jack which has the microphone and audio in it, but I don't think my PC has a jack that supports it. Is there any way to find out if any of my jacks support it or is there an accessory I can use to split it into 2 jacks?

Solution
The existing "combo" jack plug on your headset is designed to be used with the combo jack which many laptops now have to save space.
Since your PC has separate jacks for mic & earphones, you need a splitter like this:

It doesn't have to be a relatively expensive Creative one as in the link, other companies make them cheaper. Try Amazon for more choice.
In my opinion the headset manufacturer's should supply appropriate male or female splitter with their headsets but in this cut-throat commercial world they are all out to save money wherever possible.
