Hello,

I recently had brought a new headset, it can be a mic and a headphone only using one cable.

My headphone port is broken and can't be fixed so I use ASUS Realtek Audio Manager with the mic port so that it could treat it as a headphone port. But now I have no clue on how to use mic + headphone at the same time.

You will need an external soundcard, like this one
or repair the jack
or a long extension cable, like this one to plug one of them into the rear port, if it even still works. You might want to try the rear ports directly with the headset first. Sometimes the broken headphone jack shorts out the audio or damages the soundcard's dac :(
