I bought a new Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50P Gaming Headset, it comes with one audio and microphone cord. My laptop has one audio and microphone jack. When I plug it in, the audio is fine but the microphone doesn't work. All that works is the internal microphone in my laptop. Please help!

Yes, I was using Skype. I went into the Audio Settings and the microphone is set at Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio). That and Stereo Mix (Realtek High Definition Audio) are the only two options for the skype microphone and speakers option. So basically my computer isn't picking up my headset mic...

You could buy a USB sound card. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sabrent-External-Adapter-Windows-AU-MMSA/dp/B00IRVQ0F8 this one for example) This would solve your problem and they are relatively inexpensive.
