I recently bought a headset, but my laptop only has 1 combined mic/headphone jack, and the mic doesn't show up.

The mic does not show up both when using a splitter or when not using a splitter. PLEASE HELP!!!! I have looked in sound section of the control panel. My laptop is a U410 Touch

You may have gotten the wrong connection converter. Did you get one of these: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CM64gKS9070CFYc7OgodC1AADw&Item=N82E16812200956&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-3.5mm+%2f+2.5mm+Stereo+Cables-_-N82E16812200956&ef_id=UvpgYQAABL1gMhk3:20140409131052:s It's a 3 position to a 4 position adapter.

If you already got one, try another, maybe yours is just bad. If you can't get a few to work, check with Lenovo support.

That's the wrong one, if you read it, it's a "SPLITTER" for an iPod or MP3 player, not an ADAPTER for a phone. That splitter you got does exactly that, it splits a single audio stream into two so you can attach two headphones to one device.

What you need is an ADAPTER to use with a phone (the laptop uses the same single connection like a cell phone does for both mic and speakers) like the one I listed.
