Mic not working for combo jack

[tugzz]

My Asus GL502VM laptop has a combo jack, I use an audio splitter to plug in my headphone and mod mic, Realtek HD audio manager software only shows 3 options- mic in, headphones, speaker out.
I cant get both microphone and headphone to work at the same time.
Help

From having a quick look online, you'd have to be sure that the splitter you're using can support both input and output. If its only an output splitter then a mic won't work. A work around would be to use a USB sound card adapter. Relatively cheap and generally solve the issue of combo jacks. 

 

Hope it helps!
