Apple Earbuds mic don't work on PC?

So, I recently built my first PC using Windows, and I tried to use the Apple Earbuds that came with my MacBook Air. The audio works fine, however the microphone does not work. Please help!

MacBook Air 13", 10.14

Try debugging this using different configurations of the hardware.


This to fogure out which part os not working as expected.


See if it’s your Windows config (test the Apple headset on another working Windows system), test your hardware build (again, test the Apple headset on another system), or if it’s the earbuds (test a different headset on the same system with a different 3.5mm plug coaxial speaker-mic).


Could be anythig from the wrong sort of jack to a broken jack to a broken wire in the headset, to an audio software configuration error of some sort.
