Can I use the iPhone 4 earbuds as a microphone+headphone headset on my Windows 7 PC?

I game on steam. My Turtle Beach Z11's for PC and mobile have broken. They came bundled in with a converter for the single 3.5mm 4-pole connector to split into microphone and headphone jacks. The Apple earbuds (with volume rocket and microphone) also have a 3.5 4-pole connector. I've plugged in my earbuds to my Z11 converter and still no luck. Here's a picture of the converter.

Any help or cheap work arounds are appreciated.

If the wiring on the earbuds (Apple product) and the headphones/microphone (Windows product) were identically wired connections, should have worked. But you know how Steve Jobs liked to run down the road less traveled…
