Headset's Mic not working when connected to AUX?

Dude said:

Check in privacy settings to enable the mic

Permissions are already given. I noticed btw that the microphone does work when connected as a microphone. But the mic is VERY low even when maxed out in the sound settings. Is there any way to make the mic level even higher?

when you maxed it, did you use the levels tab, and max both sliders?

Yes I have but it's still too low.

UPDATE:

So I think I found the culprit. The cable itself I connect the headset with has a low-quality built-in mic as well.
Connecting the headset with that cable into the microphone aux enables that mic instead of the mic built in the headset.

I was thinking of buying an aux cable without a built-in mic but I'd then need something like the following which I can't find anywhere.


Does such a cable actually exist?

Hi,

I know it's an old post. But looks like I am in the same situation as you were. Did you find the solution for it ? Did you try a 2.5mm TRRS (4 poles) male to 3.5mm TRRS (4 poles) male connector wire ?

Apparently, the headset's built-in mic only works when it's connected through bluetooth. Such a wire as shown in the image won't fix this unfortunately.
