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
