I have been all over the boards and nobody seems to understand just how serious this problem is. Realtek with Windows (any recent version) really, really, REALLY doesn't recognize the side mic jack. Please don't recommend anything that is even close to obvious. Those of us with this problem have tried EVERYTHING besides changing some very deep settings in the software. What we need to know is what those settings are and how to change them.

Try this on any system, and you will find that it is true for most computers. The side mic jack is just decoration. IT DOESN'T WORK.

You would be better off to list what laptop you have this issue with as well as what kind of mic you are running. Is it a headset with both mic and headphones or just a mic it self? Are you connecting one(TRRS) or two plugs(TRS X 2)?
