Problem with my headset microphone

Hello!

I moved up to windows 10 and had this problem for a while now. Windows doesn't detect my external microphone, it only detect my built-in microphone, but when I switch to mac os it gets detected.

If anyone could help me it would be great!

iMac 27", macOS 10.15

TRRS detection by the Windows driver does not work properly on Bootcamp/Windows on Macs. It will detect such devices correctly when booted in macOS. The underlying hardware is more than capable of supporting it.


If you use a USB adapter which supports TRRS (or supports two separate connections - Headphone and Microphone), it will work properly.
