Okay so I just built my new pc and my mic doesn't work. So this is a headset mic and it works on other devices and my old pc so I know it works. But when I set up a new pc it doesn't. All my plugs are in right and I have a feeling that its Realtek's driver only allowing it to be a headphone and no mic add-on as its only one plug and I do not have a splitter. So before I try a splitter what can I possibly do.

Do you mean the headset uses a single cable to connect to a device?

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yes 

 

Then ya you need a 4 pole to 3/3 splitter probably...PCs don't  take 4 pole connectors normally, that's like a cellphone thing.

This one might work but I make no promises, least amazon has an easy return policy.

The male end of your headphone cable has 4 lines on it right?
