Headphones won't work

HP computer front jack won't recognize my built in mic on my headphones. Can hear audio.

Well are you sure it is a dual jack, input/output? It should be marked to say, otherwise you can check your manual.

However, even if it is a dual one, that doesn't mean it will work with all headsets. Sadly some just don't work as they should.

A way around it, other than replacing the jack itself, would be to get a 3.5mm to USB adapter (can usually find online for less than $10) and connect that way.
