I have an Alienware M17 R5 AMD. The built-in microphone works pretty fine. However, when I use my external earphone (which comes with a mic), the earphone speaker works fine, but the "jack mic" does not work. The jack mic is visible when I switch "Headphones" to "Headset (with microphone)" in Realtek Audio Console. The problem is it doesn't catch any sound which I have cross-checked in many ways, especially in the "Sound" settings. I have tried every possible way to fix it, like

switching from "Headphones" to "Headset (with microphone)"
running troubleshooter
testing using different platforms
uninstalling/reinstalling/updating the drivers/software
trying out with different earphones
and what not

But nothing solved the problem. It still persists. Would be glad if someone could help me out! TIA
