I cannot find a solid answer even within the site itself. I have just purchased a pair of Skullcandy Ink'd rasta with Mic 1 built in, and cannot get the mic to work. I have tried using them as a mic by plugging the 3.5mm jack into the mic slot instead of audio with no luck. I checked my drivers but again, I can't find anything not working or disabled. What can I do without spending MORE money to fix the issue?
 
That seems to be a TRRS(tip ring ring sleeve) plug, mostly used on mobile devices. Normal computers tend to use TRS(tip ring sleeve). Some newer laptops may be using TRRS as well.

They make an adapter for you, but it will not be free.
