You need a splitter like this to convert your headphone/microphone combo plug into two separate plugs.

I just finished my build and I decided to Skype a friend from it. Thats when i resized that the computer wasn't detecting that I had a headphone / mic headset plugged into the headphone jack. I could hear audio but It didn't detect a mic. I am used to using a laptop witch had a headphone/ mic jack but i didn't think this would cause any problems. the front I/o on my case has a mic port but my headset only has one prong. This is frustrating because I dont have a USB headset and I have no mic otherwise.

You do probebly just need a spliter. On most desktop the mic isn't plugged in to a combo port like you do whant to do on a phone.
