Windows 10: Headset Detachable mic not being detected in Windows 11

I recently bought a 'JBL Quantum 100, Wired Over Ear Gaming Headset with Detachable Mic', while its working on my phone and consoles, it is not working on my laptop. I have updated my drivers, ran troubleshoots but the troubleshoot always just says that "the microphone is unplugged" while its plugged in and works well for other devices. I really need help with this.

Laptop won't detect built-in mic on headsets/earbuds

I'm running Windows 10 home on a Lenovo Ideapad laptop, and it doesn't detect the mic on any of my headsets/earbuds. I can hear playback fine on my headsets/earbuds, but it can't speak through them, since it insists on using the laptop's internal mic. This results in my typing/mouse clicks all being captured on audio.

• In sound properties recording tab, I just see "microphone (Realtek high def audio)" and "stereo mix (Realtek high def audio)"
  
• In sound properties playback tab, I just see "speakers (Realtek high def audio)", yet I hear audio fine on my headsets/earbuds?
  
• In device manager, it doesn't detect a headset either, displays the same list as the recording tab

So do all 3 of my headsets/earbuds have some kind of "plug and play but stays invisible to the OS" feature? One of them is the default Apple earbuds, I'm 100% sure there's a mic on there and these are brand new, so they aren't broken. Are these not supposed to appear as a "headset" device with the headset icon in sound properties?

 

Gaming Headset W/ Detachable Mic Support Issues

Hi all

I'm using a Corsair gaming headset, the headset has a detachable microphone with a plug-in jack. This headset has worked fine up until tonight (10/01/2019). I'm aware that when plugging directly into your computer, such as the tower, windows 10 provides
an option to select what device has been input. In my case I am aware this needs to be a headset, not headphones. However recently, I struggled to change this after mistakenly putting the option as a headphone, and when plugging the mic into my headset it
would not work.

I seem to have arranged a work-around, leaving the option for the dialog box to appear each time I detach and reinsert my headset, however unless the headset is inserted with the mic attached, it simply will not recognise it when plugged in. Does anyone know
what settings I need to change to switch from headset to headphones, and vice versa, as well as to make sure I can simply plug in my headset and then my mic later on without having to then re-attach and reset them?

Additionally, I did have some issues with my audio drivers, as it was suggested to disable realtek audio manager and then re-install it, however I attempted this and now only the Realtek audio driver is present in my device manager. I can still use my headset,
as above and have noticed no degradation in audio quality, but I want to know if this would also be an issue.

Further details can be provided on request, thanks in advance.
