Greetings all

 

I know nothing about headphones

 

My sons headphones with builtin microphone, don't seem to work fully on the PC, the sound works but the mic doesn't, i assume its because it only one plug, which works fine in a phone but on a PC it somehow needs to be split to 2 (one for Mic and one for Sound) unfortunately the only splitters i can find seem to be the wrong way round (2 into 1 instead of 1 female into 2 male if you know what i mean?)

 

Just some help with the terminology would be good if nothing else

 

Cheers

You are looking for a 3.5mm headphone mic splitter (PBTech) or 1 (F) to 2 (M) at Mighty Ape, assuming the PC has a mic input.
