Hi everyone,

I've a set of earbuds that have its microphone broken. Having a four-pin connector, as soon as I connect them to my laptop windows recognizes it as an external microphone.

Not being and USB microphone on devices it is not recognized as an "Additional Device" it is simply is set as the normal Microphone using the Conexant ISST Audio driver.

My question is, is it possible to use these set of earbuds and use the internal microphone? Or will it always recognize it as an external microphone?

Thanks

    Oh, I'm sorry if that didn't help too. Kindly try updating manually the audio controller driver in Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers:

    • Press Windows key + X simultaneously in your keyboard or right-click on Start and click Device manager.
    • Expand or double click the category "Sound, video and game controllers"
    • Right-click on the Realtek(R) Audio driver and select "Update Driver".
    • Next select "Browse my computer for drivers"
    • Click on "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer".
    • Make sure the option "Show compatible hardware" is checked.
    • Select High Definition Audio Device and click Next.
    • See If that would help. But if not, try uninstalling the driver and restart your computer.
