Hey, I have an HP Laptop with only 1 Audio jack, the symbol beside the jack shows a headphone with mic on it, so it seems to be a combo jack.

My problem is that I have Logitech headphones with a mic on them (like the customer service thingy?) and it has a red plug and a black plug for the mic and sound. I need to use teamspeak and so I need sound on my headphones and be able to use the mic as well.

Does an audio splitter work for this, or am I thinking wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I found a fix to the problem, no adapter necessary. I had the exact same problem. This is really wierd but to make the computer recognize BOTH microphones at the same time, what you do is you need to uninstall the "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver". For some reason in my case it also improved the sound quality when I uninstalled it.

Before my computer only noticed the "2- Realtek High Definition Audio", and when I plugged in my headphones it still only displayed one and just switched over to the mic of the headset. Now that I uninstalled the driver, it notices the two different mic's and you can set as default.
