I updated the Intel graphic driver to the latest version 2 days ago and the Mic would work fine. When I connect my Earpods, I can hear through them but the mic doesn't work however if I speak close to the internal mic I can see that green bar moving up which exists in Sounds>Recording. Buy E-SDS USB 3.0 2-Port 3.5 Inch Metal Front Panel USB Hub with 1 HD Audio Output Port/1 Microphone Input Port for Desktop 20 Pin Connector & 2ft Adapter. Realtek audio driver is already installed but there's no realteks audio icon to configure or make changes.

I checked my Earpods with my iPhone and the mic would work just fine but not with the laptop. The headphones themselves seem to be working fine but the mic on the headphones was not working. My laptop has one 3.5 mm jack where I plug my Earpods (Apple's earphones with mic) to use it as headphones and mic always works but yesterday out of nowhere it stopped working. I recently built a new PC and just got new headphones (Coolermaster MH751) and when I went to try them the mic was not working. Hi all,I have a Dell InspiGaming laptop, running Windows 10 Version 1803 build 17134.165.
