The above is $9.95 USD.  The $4.98 one may be a little too cheap, bottom of the barrel.

You're using it for a mic and not a headset (plug is a little different) so it should work fine.

@bradthetechnut​   ok thank you  i will get the 995 one    thank you for your help

You're welcome.  :)

i got the device and it did not help   i had mic working but lost sound though my pc speakers     any more suggestions 

Plug speakers into output on the adapter.  Using the adapter disables onboard audio jacks.

@bradthetechnut​   it did not help so i might have to get another  computer    get one with 3 plugs    thank u for your help

Sorry to see you're still having bad luck with it.  The only other thing I can suggest is get a PCIe sound card.  They normally have input and output ports.  Many also have extra ports for surround sound.

I don't know if you have the mini tower or SFF, but sound cards usually come with large and small brackets.

I'm not sure why plugging speakers into the output jack on the adapter didn't work.

it is working now  i had ot plugged in wrong    thanks for all you help 

You're welcome and glad it's working now.  :)
