Hi iggs_1,
First how to find the processor name:
- Launch the Run command
- Type msinfo32 in the box and [Enter]
- You'll find the processor name in the right column, "Processor'
- Note it and compare with the list of Intel Broadwell processors.
- If it is listed, you have to install the chipset driver (Broadwell) otherwise the other driver.
PS: If you encounter some difficulties, you could give the first ten characters of the computer serial number (S/N)? Only the first ten.

I have that Adapter and it still doesn't work0 -

May be I'm stupid but I have a little doubt about the adapter shipped with the microphone.
This one stated in my previous is different.
Normally 3 black rings, you can directly connect it to the laptop.
Is it your microphone? Do you use this adapter and how (please take a picture)?

My apologies Laurent
My package is the one in your attached image. I have tried using it both ways, with just a original cord and also with the y splitter that they provide. Both ways unrecognised through my laptop. Should I purchase that adaptor in the previous post even though I have the one they provided?0 -
No problems.
Is this mic connected to an headphone or used alone?

I use it alone
but mainly it's connected to over the ear headphones0 -

- This one have a mic input?
- Have you tried with another computer?
PS: The adapter stated in my previous message is useless and not the solution.

According to my notes, the S7 has a combo headphone/microphone jack and is probably wired like this. So unless you have a 4 ring plug it will probably not give you a mike input.

Could try here, then you can experiment.
I do not have an S7, just the diagram works with my cell phones.

Hi padgett,
This microphone already have 3 black rings or 4 contact rings and 24k gold plated plug.
Hi iggs_1,
As you wrote, you "work" under Windows 10.
- Is it the original OS or an upgrade?
- If it's an upgrade, did you download and update all drivers?

Hi Laurent
I upgraded my Windows 10, do I need to update all of the driver's?
I'll let you know how I go
Thanks for your support0 -
hi Laurent,
I updated the sound cards but to no avail
What are our options?
What do you think of USB sound cards?

Hi iggs_1,
Sorry for the delay. May be you misunderstood my previous message.
Did you buy your laptop:
- with Windows 10 ?
- with Windows 8/8.1 and upgraded to Windows 10 (Get Windows 10) ?
If this case, it's necessary to upgrade all of the drivers. First the chipset driver and the others in any order.

Hi iggs_1,
Your laptop is equipped with an Intel I5-4200U so Haswell familly and not Broadwell familly. You have to install the second chipset driver stated in your list.
