Laptop does not recognize 3.5mm jack mic, but recognizes headphones.
About 3 weeks ago my microphone randomly stopped being recognized by my laptop, but yet the headphones still work. My headset is a 3.5mm jack, 2 in 1 mic and audio. I've read every available forum here, still no use. I've watched many support videos, still nothing. I have tried these fixes already:
- Factory reset
- Recovering past settings
- Uninstalling and reinstalling all drivers
- Selecting "headphones," "mic-in," and "headset" do not change anything.
- Checking if my jack is compatible- it is.
- My port in the laptop is not messed up
- Setting up a microphone in control panel, did not change a thing.
- Tried different games and apps, none of them register a mic besides the built-in laptop mic.
I'll attach some photos just to see if any of them are of help. I bought a whole new headset thinking it was my old one, and now I've got two headsets and no ability to communicate.
