So both front and rear jack panels in my PC have been damaged, as my new set of headphones won't work/ is very sensitive when I plug them in.

So I decided to use the TV as an output source instead, since it is on HDMI. and I found out that my TV has both output and input jacks. I plugged in the green in the output jack, and my headphones come to action, so that shows that it does work.

Now my only question is... is there a way to use the mic as well? There is clearly a jack here and it says "PC Audio Input"... is it possible to use this headset connected to the TV as a means to use the microphone for the PC?
 
Solution
No. The input is not for a mic and will not send audio back to the PC even if you add a mic preamp.
The input is for use with a non HDMI input from your PC (like DVI or VGA) which doesn't carry audio only video.
