Need help with my rear 3.5mm mic jack

Hi! 

I have been having this issue for a while now but first I thought that my previous headset's mic was the one that's not working.

I recently bought a Steelseries Arctis 1 and I tried connecting it to my rear audio panel using the splitter included with the headset.

The audio is fine but my PC cannot detect any device that was plugged into the mic jack.

I tried troubleshooting numerous times and a variety of ways as well such as:

1. Checking the privacy options of allowing the microphone access.

2. Updating the drivers using Device Manager

3. Checking the sound option in the Control Panel to check and I keep seeing that on the rear and front mic panel it is saying "Not plugged in"

 

How can I fix this? I was planning to use this headset for gaming and for work as well.

I am thinking of getting a temporary cheap sound card to remedy the issue as my last resort but if there are something that I can do to fix this, I will try those first.

Please provide help and opinions about this matter. Thank you
