Hello I have some random earbuds with microphone but they work in phone. When I plug them into pc into mic jack it doesnt work. When I blow straight into microphone it doesnt detect any sound but when I blow into headphone it does. I tried turning volume up, changing all settings. Like all of options and nothing worked. I also tried different earbuds but they didnt work as well. I also tried to plug them into my sisters laptop but neither my nor other earbuds worked... I did not yet tried splitter but I will soon, but I dont know if this would help because built in mic should work when connected to microphone jack slot. When I plug them into headphone slot I they play sounds but I cant set mic to work. Any solutions ?
 
Solution
1| You will need to specify the make and model of your earphones/mic combo.

2| Not all headsets are made equally on the connectivity end. They can range from having a single 3.5mm jack with varying bands like so:

3| If anything you will need a splitter like this to be able to use it on your desktop.
