Dell vostro 3681 combo jack - microphone not working

I've tried connect headset in front combo jack (for laptop hedset) and only headset speakers working. There is no device to choose for sound recordings. I've also tried to update drivers, bios, even installed windows 11, but still it is not working. Maybe this combo jack is not combo jack but only jack for stereo speakers (but there is litlle headset icon near) and there is only one jack on the back (I supose it is for stereo speakers). I've also tried sound recordings trouble shooter but it nort recognize that headset is present

Is there some working solution? Or I have to buy usb soundcard?
