The only way my headphones work is if I plug it into the thing where my speaker is plugged into (but there's no mic jack there). Whatever I do, my computer isn't detecting that I'm using a mic. I tried plugging into my laptop and it works just fine. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks! | ||

There's a jack on the back of my computer, near where I plug in my monitor, that the speaker plugs into. | ||

I looked at that microsoft site, but I didn't find anything useful for my situation. - Hopefully I'm not hijacking your thread here. We probably have the same issue really.

I may try this... how much did it cost you? | ||

And what is the thing where you plug you headphones in? (I really can't tell from the things you said before, maybe you have a link?) What OS do you use? | ||

Go to Start, Control Panel, and than Sound. Should look something like this. I know I have my headphones plugged in but my computer for some reason thinks they're speakers. | ||

When I look at the "recording tab" I see Microphone SB Audigy Currently Unavailable Line-In SB Audigy Ready S/PDIF-In SB Audigy Currently Unavailable | ||

You can't plug in your speakers and headset (for listening) at the same time in your sound card then. You need to use your mainboards onboard sound card for that. You can switch between speakers and headset then by right clicking the speakers symbol at the bottom right of your taskbar and selecting playback devices. Try to plug in your headset (both jacks) into your mainboard. It should be color coded, pink is the microphone and sound should be green. Now if you right click the bottom right symbol and select recording devices you should see a microphone with a green thing (don't know the English word for that  ). | ||
