Hey guys!
I bought a new headphone which has one jack cable, but my computer has one headphone and one mic connections. My mic is not working / do anything. I tried it with an ' airplane adapter ' and then it worked so low quality, and i heared the sound only one side.
Can you guys help me? I tried also Realtek options, not worked.
I tried also with my phone, worked perfectly.
Maybe a need a splitter? Whats the difference the splitter vs airplane adapter?

in above photo ignore 2.5mm and 3.5mm as i'm talking about how many sections it has (image is for visual purposes).

likely 3pole vs 4pole?

assuming you have a headset (includes mic) not headphones alone.

3pole is just for audio or mic separate (this is what your pc has). 4pole carries both (this is what i think your new headset has). assuming that is the case you want a cellphone to pc adapter (4pole to two 3pole adapter) which are as common as dirt. something like this https://www.amazon.com/Exclusives%C2%AE-Smartphone-Headset-Adapter-01-PH35-PC35/dp/B00JWVR880/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1470753995&sr=8-9&keywords=phone+headset+adapter

I have the similar / exactly the same as the first picture, with 4 Pole.
I also find the same answer like you, and bigpinkdragon286 gave, i think it will be the good solution! :) Thank you so much! :)
