Dell optiplex 3050 sff . Mic detection problem. No matter how many headphones with mic i use or try it shows the same .Use les PC . Always with a problem. I wasted my money buying that
Go to devmgmt.msc, enable showing hidden devices, remove all Realtek audio drivers and check the box to uninstall (fully remove) the drivers. Reboot, let Windows automatically install some Microsoft default drivers, and then your headset microphone will work well.
The Dell drivers are faulty, I don't see another explanation. I have tried a clean install with the Dell audio drivers and could reproduce the non-working microphone behaviour.
There are two different wiring conventions for the mic on a TRRS connection. I don't know which convention is used on this model. One version the second ring is the "Hot" mic connection and Sleeve is ground. The other version is exact opposite, the second ring is ground, and the Sleeve is the mic hot (signal) connection.

The Dell documentation lists the front panel jack as a Headphone jack. No mention of microphone.
If you want to use a microphone you will need a USB connected microphone (or headset mic combination).
Another option is to use an external USB connected sound card that is OS compatible and has the jack functions you want.
