Which headset-microphone/headphone-mic models will work with an Aspire One 725-0899?

I have a working Dynex headset-microphone which has separate mic and speaker jacks. The 725-0899 has a single integrated jack. I need either an adapter or a new headset-mic which will work with the 725-0899. The 3.5mm diameter is standard but the barrel length is what determines whether the mic element functions.

Did you, wnr, or anyone reading this, get a solution? I can't get the technical information I need about the 3mm combination speakers/microphone connector on my V5 series - they won't provide it to me and I've found no way to use the connector. The 3mm connector on my computer doesn't appear to be standard, or mine is defective but without the technical info I can't know for sure. I don't see any headsets listed at their online Store either. If I could just contact the Engineering department I'm sure they'd have the technical details I need to make an adapter, if a headset can't be purchased from the Store, but they won't even give me that contact info so I've have an unusable 3mm headset connector for over a month now. The Chat support has not been able to help me with this.

I own a V5 571 and I have been confused and unable to find information as yet about the mic/audio jack.  The headset for my cell phone does fit the mic/audio jack on the side of the laptop, but there is no sound.  Regular earbuds don't fit the jack. Otherwise, when I play videos on youtube there is not sound.

I figured out my problem.  The volume was turned to zero on my system.  I just tapped the tiny speaker icon and turned it up.
