New Computer Headphone + Mic issues

jordy337 · February 13, 2019

I recently built a system that uses an NZXT H400i (1 3.5mm Mic Jack and 1 3.5mm Audio Out Jack) and a ASUS Prime A/CSM AM4 Motherboard (1 3.5mm Mic Jack and 1 3.5mm Audio Out Jack + 1 Line in 3.5mm Jack).

I wanted to use my Sony headphones that have a built in mic, but the mic or headphones won't work depending on where it's plugged into. I was wondering if there is a way I could have both the Headphone and Microphone working with them only connected through one port.

-Side Question: Does Bluetooth support Mic + Headphone functionality at the same time? I could pick up one of those USB bluetooth things.

Buy a splitter. It's what a lot of headsets, including my HyperX Cloud Stingers came with because they have the mic+audio AIO cable.

I don't think it'll work with one port unless you mod the port or have a port that can take in both mic and audio.

yes. it can depending on the headset and its compatibility to send it over bluetooth. i have a wireless headset which allows me to do both talk and listen to things in game at any given time.
