    Thanks for the clarification.

    From the motherboard specs, it only has separate P2 connectors for the headphone and the microphone. There are also separate connectors on the front panel of the case, correct?

    Therefore, you will need to use a P3 Female to P2 Male adapter to use this headset on your computer.

    With this adapter, the signal will be separated into two P2 connectors. One for the headphone and one for the microphone.

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    From the options that are displayed, either your computer does not have the connector for using a headset (Headphone with microphone), or the driver installed is wrong.

    Does your headset have 2 jack connectors P2 (two black or white lines) or a single jack connector P3 (three black or white lines)?

    Also, what is the manufacturer and model of your computer?

    If you prefer, you can send a screenshot of your system information.

    • Press "Windows + R", type msinfo32 and press Enter.

    Maximize the window and use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.
