Hi I recently bought a headphones , with a mic included. It has 2 wires connecting to it. One for the headset one for the mic. But my lennovo z500 only comes with a headphone port. So I bought a splitter, it connects into the headphone slot and becomes a headphone and microphone jack, but the computer cant detect the microphone. Help please.

Sorry I am really bad in computers. Is there a way to change the hardware? or install anything (software) that will allow me to use this function?
