Headphones won't work on my computer as Microphone and Headphones ( iPhone 6 headphones )?

So I bought MSI gaming labtop ( link below for specs ) for playing games and college. I use skype a lot when i play games, so on my old labtop i could just plug in my iPhone 6 headphones and they would work as a microphone and a headset so I could hear the game I'm playing and talk on skype at the same time. Well with this computer, that didn't work, bc it has two ports a microphone and a headset one. Didn't work in either port, so I did some research and people said to buy a 3.5mm male to female headphone and microphone splitter ( link below) then plugged my earbuds into it and still nothing. Tried both "Line In" and "Mic In" settings neither work.

Added (1). Btw my earbuds show up as a speaker and work great, they just don't show up as a microphone

NO NO NO!
Your SPLITTER has the same INPUT as the two OUTPUTS. Tip, ring sleeve (3 contacts) on the female input side, Tip, ring, sleeve TIMES TWO on the two male plugs.
You need TIP, RING, RING, SLEEVE female socket to two plugs--one Tip, Ring, Sleeve for headphone out, and Tip, ring, sleeve for microphone in plugs. See http://www.amazon.com/...0058DOWH6/

  • Will mini microphone for an iphone work with an aux extension? I have recently bought a mini microphone from my iphone. The mic obviously goes in as through the headphone jack. will a female and male extension aux cord work if i connect it to the mic? i want to place the mic on a pole and extend it as if i were to do a movie.

  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • Why won't my microphone work on viber? (iPhone)? I tried to call a friend but my microphone didn't work. I could hear my friend perfectly fine but she couldn't hear me.
