Today I bought aforementioned headset and discovered that microphone on this headset is not being detected by anything. This headset got 1 3.5mm connector which I tried connecting to front panel (green) and it's being detected as headphones only. I'm using Win 7 x64. I tried updating my sound card drives and it didn't help in any way.

What can I do to make Win detect mic on this headset too?

  • Do you have only one input there on your computer, or 2?

  • On front panel? Both pink and green one. Feb 2, 2015 at 17:46
  • I don't know "pink" and "green" but if there are 2 inputs, the mic and headphones are probably not accessible with one jack in. One will be for the 'phones and the other for the mic.

You need a splitter, such as this from amazon.

My guess is your cable is a single jack with 4 'bands', [ground, audio out L & R & mic in]. You need to split it to just a TRS [ground, out L & R] which goes in the green socket & a separate mic TS jack [ground & mic] which goes in the pink socket
[the picture shows both as TRS, but that's not vital for the mic plug.]
