Hi. I'm trying to get my 3.5mm cable beats headphones to work with both sound and mic on my PC. I purchased a 3.5mm female to 2 male mic/audio splitter. I plugged it into the PC but the mic doesn't work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are they Bluetooth? And how many bands are around the 3.5 mm cable?

I have Beats EP wired headphones. They seem to have three white bands on its 3.5mm plugin if that's what you mean. The adapter plugs each have two colored bands on their plugins.

Here is the one I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PYZ2BT4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I doubt that splitter will work with beats headset, since apple bought them. Apple headsets (like many of their products) use a slightly different standard, in this case a modified version of CTIA standard. Although all four channel corresponds to the exact same CTIA standard (i.e. ground, mic, right and left) but apple headsets have different audio-in and signal controlling (so the play pause button might work but not up/down for volume control. This is why third-party headsets manufacturers always have an apple version and an android version of the same product. If you want to use it with the splitter buy a standard CTIA headset (aka basically anything that's not made by apple) or get a splitter made for apple headsets (I doubt you'll find any) or treat your beats as a headphone, not a headset and get a separate mic.

It works now, I just had to install the Windows Sound Drivers. Thank you though.
