Vostro 3670, not recognizing headset mic
I am trying to use a Cyber Acoustic AC-6008 headset with mic to connect with my Vostro 3670. I have plugged the headset into both front and rear connections and indicated that I have connected a "mic in" device. The Vostro recognizes that a mic is connected but the mic does not work. The mic on the headset works properly on other devices. Suggestions?

That headset uses a combo plug a "TRRS" plug. The 3670 only has headset jack on the front. It has a mic (Pink Jack) on the rear. You will need a "splitter" adapter cable to split the headset and microphone connections into 2 separate "TRS" (Stereo) plugs. You may need an extension for the mic since it has to plug into the rear jack.
Here is an example of the required splitter cable:

Thanks for the suggestion. I ordered the splitter and the computer still does not recognize the mic. Is there something else I can try?

Are you plugging the Mic connection to the rear Pink jack?

Realtek Audio does not recognize ANYTHING plugged in when windows borks a feature update and breaks the realtek driver.
Reverse Splitter is required for front.
You need TRRL to Green and Red cable.
Rear has 3 ports for mic, line, speaker out.

If headset only has one connector you need the reverse
