Ok, so where to begin. I got this new laptop (An Asus Notebook) with the newest Windows 8, and it just so happens to have a combo-jack. So it has to use a headset with an in-built mic that can be used with only 1 jack. And finally a week ago or so, I got a new pair of headsets meant for iPhones. I tried to test it with the mic and all, but even though the sound was working fine, my computer didn't register that a mic was plugged in too. I also can't choose to "Set up microphone", as I get a message saying "Your current defaut speech engine does not support this action at this time."
I read some tips saying that an iPhone headset might not work with PCs, so I bought a new pair of proper headsets now, the Steel Series 5H V3 Gaming Headset, and this headset has the ability to plug in either with 2 jacks or 1. But it's EXACTLY the same thing. Sound working fine, computer doesn't seem to notice there's a mic in too. I also read that updating sound drivers might help, but my laptop updates auromatically, and it says that there are no available updates. The built-in mic is working fine and all, and in the "Recording Devices" tab, it shows 2 devices, "Microphone - Realtek High Definition Audio" and "Stereo Mix - Realtek High Definition Audio".
I'm absolutely out of ideas by now, I've searched for many solutions, but it doesn't seem like many have had this exact problem. I beg of you, please help before I'm out of hair on my head. (Note, I'm not extremely computer-savvy, so I might not understand everything without explanation, sorry for the trouble)
