Use build-in microphone on laptop AND earbuds?

[sci4me]

So I have seen multiple laptops that have the microphone AND headphone jack in a single 3.5mm jack. What I want to know is is it possible to use the laptops built-in mic AND earbuds? Whenever I plug them in, the build-in mic is disabled... because it thinks I plugged in a mic... is there some way to switch it back to the built-in mic? Note that I am referring to the Razer Blade Stealth, but the same thing happened on my last laptop.

Right-click on the volume control icon in the bottom-left, and select 'Recording Devices'. Then, right-click on the headphone mic and select 'Disable'. If this doesn't work, select the built-in mic and click on 'Make default device'.

How do I get myself into these things...

 

So I disabled it and it disappeared. 

 

Don't as why I thought this next step would be a good idea, but (after a reboot or two) I went into device manager and saw that the device was there but I couldn't like... enable it anything. So what did I do? That's right. I uninstalled it.

 

Last time I ever press Disable or Uninstall on ANYTHING EVER. So now I can't even get the mic showing in device manager...

 

*sigh*

 

help!

 

EDIT: Ok, if i have learned anything with this experience, it's that Windows loves to HIDE things from you. Show disabled microphones... re-enabled it.

 

Now back to making it work with the earbuds...

 

EDIT 2: Got it working. Had to use Realtek HD Audio Manager.
