My computer has two jacks, one for microphone and one for headphones. I have a headset with a detachable gaming mic and the headset only has one cord. Now I bought a splitter thinking that would work and I would be able to use the microphone after that. Now since I'm a total dunce when it comes to computers and tech, I need help. The splitter's microphone end wont pick up my headset's microphone. It may just be that the splitter is cheap (because I'm mostly broke all the time) but at the slight chance it might not be the splitter I need help. When I plug it into the splitter and then plug the splitter into the computer, it starts off as a small static, then gradually gets louder and louder until my ears feel like they'll explode. It doesn't even pick up anything I say either. Help please?

Solution
you have to buy a splitter then splits the audio you hear in the ear from the signal of the mic.
Otherwise, you will have a Y splitter which just takes your one headphone jack, and creates 2 identical copies from it (like a power bar).

did you buy a standard 3.5mm splitter cable? Because those are for stereo audio only. If you look at the tip of ur headphone jack it will look different then that splitter you bought.
It seems to me you bought the wrong splitter, and you might damage ur headphone/pc with it,
