So the microphone on your 3.5mm wired headset isn't working when you plug it into your computers headphone jack? The sound comes through the headphones just fine but your mic isn't being recognized? Thankfully there's a very simple solution to this problem. What many people do not know is there are several different types of 3.5mm audio connectors. In this video I show you how to recognize the difference between a 4 pin TRRS connector and a 3 pin TRS connector, explain what the difference between the two of them is and of course show you what you need in order to get your headset mic working on your PC. Alrighty then, let's dive on in!
Here are the links to the adapter cables I used in this video...
If you need a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter, this is the one you want- amzn.to/2Ym1gnb
If you need a 3 pin to 4 pin adapter then this is the one you want - amzn.to/3bV7w9d
If you believe your mic quit working due to a Windows 10 update like I mention at the beginning of this video here is one solution that may help get it working again. • Headset Mic Quit Worki...
One other thing you may want to try if neither this video or changing your Windows Privacy settings works is changing your settings in Sounds in Windows Control Panel. In this video I walk you through how to do that and share a couple other tips. • Why isn't My Headset M...

If this doesn't work, then rearrange the the two outputs of the splitters to different slots. I'm sure you've tried this already, so try to constantly change the ring alignment every several seconds with the connector and the splitter by pulling it out slightly and pushing it back in.

This has helped me diagnose a 2 year long fight with my microphone. My issue was that I was using an extension so my headset could reach without giving me restrictions on head movement. What I didn't know was that my extension was a 3 pin, not a 4 pin. I even bought, unknowingly, a 4 pin to 3 pin splitter because I have a 4 pin headset jack and a 3 pin mic jack. The extension worked for audio. I now know all I need is a new extension that's a 4 pin. Thank you!

Thank you SO much!!!!! I bought a good microphone a few months ago after years of hesitating, and I was so disappointed that my computer thought it was headphones. I've been on so many forums where people advised to update the drivers but didn't get that the problem was the microphone being detected as a headphone. I found your video when I thought I'd give up and you explained it so well!! It makes a lot of sense now, I just bought a a TRS to TRRS converter, hopefully it will work now! I've learnt a lot and fixed a very annoying problem thanks to you, keep up the amazing work! :)

To help whoever is in a similar situation to mine, I have an headset without mic which can only be used to listen to sound, so I bought a lapel mic to help with input and an audio splitter because my laptop only has one port. When I connected both to my laptop through the audio splitter, the headset worked fine but the mic wasn't working despite all my effort. Thanks to this video, I figured out that the headset has a TRS cable and the mic has a TRRS cable, while the audio splitter is a TRS to TRRS connector, that's why my headset was working but the mic wasn't, so I needed a TRRS to TRS connector to connect my mic to the audio splitter. Thankfully, the mic manufacturer added a TRRS to TRS connector to the package but I didn't know what it was or how to use it until after this video. For those that might be wondering why I didn't initially try using the TRRS to TRS connector provided by the manufacturer, well, I did try but it didn't work and after this video it still didn't work immediately but thanks to the little change I had already made prior to watching this, I was able to see why it didn't work out of the box. The change was that I renamed my laptop's mic called 'microphone (..)' to 'default microphone (...)' so I would know when my laptop is using the default mic or the external mic I provide. Thanks to this change and the video, I now saw that despite using the manufacturer provided connector initially, it didn't work because my laptop didn't switch to the external mic until I manually selected it, also I now know and understand what this cables and connectors are, which I didn't initially, leading to me not being sure of what I was doing. PS: Both the default and external mic were named "microphone (...)' so there was no way to differentiate between them, also my laptop usually switches automatically but in this case it didn't.

Little suggestion here, if you have some sort of modern gaming controller that has a micro usb port on it (such as a PS4 controller or Xbox one) they will have a 3.5mm 4 pin connector on there and you can then connect that via a micro USB to USB connector and get auido from it.

My headset was working just fine till 4 days back. Now I can hear with my headset but it doesn't recognize my voice now.
