Hi everyone,
I bought something called Y splitter. It is hard to define what it is, so here is the image of that.

And my headphone is Xiaomi Piston 2, it is a fantastic headphone and of course i bought it for my cellphone. But then I've noticed if it has amazing sound quality why don't I use it on my own pc ?
Well, Actually I did it, I'm using it on my pc right now.
And this headphone's microphone is amazing as well, It is very loud and clear well, it is not working like that on pc. When I put the 3.5mm jack to motherboard Mic doesn't work so that's why I bought that cable. Now Mic still doesn't work. I've installed skype for mic test there is a mic but no sound. What I gotta do ? I'm using that y splitter correct ? I put headphone's male jack to y splitter's female jack then I put y splitter's mic and sound male jacks to motherboards. Sound works very well but mic doesn't. I need a hand here.

Thanks in advance

Well, I need to use something like this : http://thumbs4.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mdSB8aSKpSxDhsyyk9WhoNw.jpg
otherwise jack can't reach to pc. But however, I found a solution.
For that, We need, 1 Y Splitter, 2 Extension cable (1 male to 1 female 3.5mm)
I was doing like

+ means = male
- means = female



--sound->+
HEADPHONE #-->+ to ->-------extension---->+ ->----Ysplitter---- MOTHERBOARD (OR Whatever you use)
--mic---->+
well, the setup must be like this,

--sound->+ ->---extension cable-->+
----HEADPHONE#--->+ to *>---Y Splitter----# MOTHERBOARD
--mic---->+ ->---extension cable--->+

Luckily, I had 2 extension cable, it's kind of mess with too many cable but it works!

I paid 0.51x2 (2 extension cable) + 0.56(y splitter) = $1.58 to set this thing.
