Hello,
I recently acquired a microphone that I connected with my headphones using an adapter (see photo below).
However, when I select microphone-headset on Realtek, it doesn’t detect my microphone. If I select microphone input, my microphone works, but the audio output is on my PC and not on my headset, and vice versa if I select headphones.
Secondly, while searching for solutions online, I followed a suggestion to go into the "manage devices" menu and disable the built-in microphone on my computer. This did not work, and even when I reactivated it, the built-in microphone no longer works, and when I plug in my "external" microphone, its sound is no longer recognized.
In short, I’m left without a microphone, what should I do?
Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to respond :)

Hello,
If your photo is indeed your adapter, I’m not sure it’s the right one, because the male jack only has three contacts, and it's not possible to connect a mic + two stereo headphones in this case; you need at least four contacts.
-- Common ground
-- Right headphone
-- Left headphone
-- Microphone
So there are questions to consider. You might want to change the adapter.
Furthermore, if you have a webcam, it probably has a built-in mic which you should disable.
Then, you can check if the Realtek driver you are using is the correct one. Replace it if necessary.
Then, right-click on the small speaker next to the clock ==>"Playback Devices", make sure to select your headphones... then "Recording Devices" and make sure to select your external mic.. Usually, it works.
