So my friend has a GA-Z97X-Gaming 5; he isn't really tech-savvy so he doesn't know which audio jack is which. He has these pair of headphones with a mic that has a combined audio jack (mic and audio combined to 1 jack). Is there a specific port on the motherboard that can allow for this? (I cannot find any manuals for labels of these jacks, they are all just gold rings). I know you can buy splitters but is there any other way without spending any additional money?
 
Solution
No there is no other way. And, depending on the headphones model, the mic might not work, even if using an adapter/splitter.
