I recently bought a new laptop, an Acer VN7-791G-79TX. There is only one jack port for both headphones and microphone. I would like to use the headset that I use on my smartphone with my new laptop. The headset is an Urbanears Plattan, with a single jack for microphone and headphones too.
When I connect my headset, the laptop asks me what type of device I just connected. So I can choose : microphone, headset, headphones, speaker,... The problem is that my laptop can't use my headset microphone. I don't see it as a microphone in the control pannel, I tried defining it as a headset and then as a microphone.
Do you think it is possible to use it on my laptop? Also, there is a button on my headset to pick up the phone when I use it on my smartphone. Thankyou so much to the ones who will try to help me, the final aim is to use my headset on skype. Have a nice day! :)

EDIT : After connecting it, if I define my headset as a LINE IN (which is the last option) I can see it in the recording part of the Sound program, as shown by DrZoo. But there is no point doing this because it is just a microphone.
