Headphone Mic Not Working. I already tried changing headphones the result are the same. My headphone mic is not working when playing games but works on calls.
In Linux Mint Xfce it only appears to recognize as headphones ignoring the mic from the headset. I was able to listen to music and make calls with it, and the mic I don't think it is the headphones, as they work in my wife's iPhone just fine. The mic does not work when I plug it into the audio jack.

Today, when I hit record, I got a recording of silence.
I think I can solve this by getting a splitter but I just want to know if there is another solution. Please do not suggest why I am not using Bluetooth because it is a @Bob i am also thinking about the same splitter but i am curious whether it will work or not. If I hit the mic portion I see the bars move, that would indicate some sound being picked up.
