My laptop won't use the microphone in my Apple headphones.
I have a pair of Apple Earbuds (headphones with a microphone and a 3.5mm jack) and an MSI GT75 Titan. When I plug the headphones into the "headphone" jack, I can hear sound through them instead of the onboard speakers, but when I plug them into the microphone
jack, my laptop still uses the onboard mic instead of the one in the headphones. They seem to work on my iMac, though. I am using a Realtek audio driver, but I can't find it on Realtek's website and on my computer, it just says "Realtek (R) Audio", not "Realtek
HD Audio" or something like that. Also, no matter where I plug the headphones into my laptop, it doesn't show them in the list of devices - even when I plug them into the 'headphone" jack where the headphones part works properly. Can someone please help?
It has line in jack, line out jack, headphone jack and microphone jack --- NONE of the jacks are combo TRRS jacks. So of course plugging your headset will not activate the headset's microphone.
You can either buy a lav mic or buy a y splitter for your non-apple headset (video at 3:30).
