Question using earphone mic on mic port?

[Flaze07]

My laptop has different port for mic and headphone. I have successfully used the mic port via the female to female 3.5m, so I know that the port isn't broken, but when I try to plug in earphone into the port ( earphone has mic ), it won't use the earphone mic. Is there any way to fix this?

You need a headset splitter to use it on this laptop, e.g.

hmm, so, I don't have a microphone ( not one that has 3.5mm port anyways ) and I want to substitute it with an earphone, do I really have to buy this?

Maybe I misunderstood your problem. Do you have an earphone with integrated mic like this?

Check properly if your earphone has microphone support. If it does then the audio splitter should work .
