I recently bought my son an atlas one turtle beach headset. The headset has a single 3.5mm jack that connects to a splitter (green/pink). My sons computer is pretty old, I forget the GPU’s it’s using but it’s from the 8800 GT era (his are the AMD equivalent). The computer is running windows 10 and absolutely will not allow me to select the microphone. I’ve tried front ports and back ports, only get audio. Tested the headset on my newer computer and mic is selectable and functions normally.
I’ve updated the driver and still nothing.
is it that maybe the sound card is too old to be compatible with this type of headset? I think it doesn’t know how to read the splitter but I’m not entirely sure that makes sense as I’d assume the splitter only touches the 3.5mm jack in certain areas to split the signal and therefor it shouldn’t matter.
The only option under microphone is “stereo mix” and when this is selected it transmits game audio as if it were mic audio so everyone in discord here’s my sons game but not him. Im so lost.
