Question Need help mic not working

[Linda Shrum]

Hello

I have bought cheap collar mic for my laptop. My laptop has two ports one for mic and other for headset.
Problem is when i plug my mic in mic port it doesn't work but when i plug it in headset port it works just fine
it creates a problem that i cant listen to what i recorded unless i unplug my mic.

How to make my mic work on mic port?

Thanks in advance

The mic that I tested worked fine, but it did not work properly when I plugged it into the headset port. I do not know what I did wrong.

If both mic and headset work connected to one jack, then you can try using an audio splitter.

Take a picture of the mic plug and send us that. I suspect what the prior person said is correct. It's probably designed to plug into a combo jack and if that's the case a splitter will work. A picture will tell us.
