Realtek Audio Console Allows Me to Customize Input Plug as Headphone and Microphone, But Not Both

Anonymous

I'm using a custom build with a Micro-Star International Z370-A Pro motherboard with Realtek HD Audio with the ALC892 Codec. The case I have (Apevia X Hermes) features two HD audio ports on the front that I can customize via the Realtek Audio Console. Both of these front ports can function as any input/output--including microphone and headphone; each function works as intended, however I can't get the program to dedicate one port as headphone and microphone simultaneously, like a headset. I attached an image of what the listed inputs look like on my UI. If both input and output functions work independently on both front panel jacks, is it possible to use a headset in one of them? I'm using Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.8412 and the Realtek Audio Console UI version is 1.8.204.0. Reinstalling these drivers didn't seem to work and Device Manager tells me these are the most recent ones.
