Realtek Microphone Array?

Question

Okay, so. I'm using an Acer Nitro 5, specific model AN515-55. I'm trying to only use my headset's microphone, but there's no option. Only the Microphone Array, which I'd rather not use, alongside my headset being detected as headphones. The only option to change things around for me is the Realtek Audio Console which doesn't seem to be much help. The specific model of the headset I use is the Turtle Beach Recon 70, if anyone is able to help.

You are already using your headset mic.

As long as you set it as "headset" in realtek audio console's device advance settings --- you will be using the headset mic.

You can verify it by lightly tapping your headset mic, the signal meter should jump.
