(I have already checked out 15-20 other similar problems and I cannot seem to figure this out from the suggestions given.)

I have this headset which is technically meant for xbox.

I bought this adapter in order to try and get both the audio and microphone working together

The audio works fine, the microphone is "recognized" under Realtek Audio Manager and Sound Control Panel, but it will not pick up any sound.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
