Turtlebeach? Okay well your headphone jack either only has audio and no mic or both.  It doesn't have two cables so that means you won't get the mic.

About a year or two ago, I bought an Xbox One wireless headset, the stealth 500x by Turtle Beach. It's a great headset. I've recently gotten into computer gaming, (which is by far better than console), but I can't seem to get the mic on my headset to work, so I've been stuck at using the laptop's built-in mic, which isn't that great, but it works. The real problem, though, is that I recently ordered all the parts for a custom rig, which won't have a built-in mic, so I need to figure out how to get this working, or find another solution. The headset plugs into the pc with a 3.5mm to 2.5mm cable, and that's how I've been using it for a while now, but the mic doesn't work with this. When using it on the Xbox, there is a wireless adapter which plugs into the Xbox via USB and an optical audio output. (I think that's what it's called.) I don't have an optical audio output jack on my pc, so I can't test it. Should it work?

My Build: i7-4790K, 212 Evo, Asus Maximus VI Extreme, Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB DDR3-1600, Intel 730 240GB SSD, WD Blue 1TB, EVGA GTX 980Ti ACX 2.0, NZXT H440 Blue/Black, EVGA 650W 80+Gold.

Most of the time, it's not the computer, it's the person using it.
