Non existing microphone shows up, what is it?

[Lord Szechenyi]

With only my keyboard+mouse and the HDMI for Display, nothing is plugged in and yet my computer says there is a microphone connected, even weirder, apparently it's connected via the "Top Panel Digital Jack", whatever that is...

Meanwhile when I plug in an external amplifier, it shows that I did indeed plug it in via the front or rear jack (the only two that are on the computer)

What is even going on???

It's just a driver you installed.

Also, do you happen to run a ThinkPad?

No, it's a mini pc, specifically a Firebat A8

 

Also, no other driver (well, Realtek, I can't think of any others) works with the PC, it's either no audio or this...

That PC has a microphone input as part of its 2-in-1 headset combo jack, so I'm not sure what the problem is here...

(I was talking about how when nothing is plugged in, it still detects a non existing microphone in a non existing port)

Actually that's another problem, when I DO plug in a microphone, it doesn't work and it detects it as headphones and I have no idea how to fix this either...

bump, as I wasn't able to figure out what this "imaginary" mic is...
