My laptop doesn't detect my microphone, although the same headphones work on my phone

Madaria

so today i woke up, turned on my Aspire A315-55G and i found out that my microphone doesn't work. i tried plugging in some other headphones and they didn't work either, instead they worked on my phone, so i'm guessing that the issue might be with the laptop. i did recovery two times on my laptop: the first time i recovered it to 5 days ago and the mic was making some kind of loud buzzing static sound which was very unpleasant to listen to and the second time i recovered it back to the date of today and it made the same loud sound again, but it stopped after i reinstalled the drivers. i uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers two times, tried updating them but nothing seems to work. at least i dont have the static sound anymore, but its very inconvenient when i have to do work. i need help asap! thanks

You must use an open mobile terminal (OMTP) style headset or the mic won't work properly. A PC style headset might work too but probably not with the same sound quality. Jack E/NJ
