Hello José,


It sounds as though you're wanting to have the ability to use the built-in microphone when you have earphones connected to your Mac. From the photos you provided this is expected behavior when connecting earphones to your device. The Internet Microphone will disappear, and show the external microphone in use, and that's available.


Change the sound input settings on Mac


Have a great day!
