Vostro 3670, Windows 10, will not detect any microphone

I need to do some voice recognition work but my computer will not recognize any microphone I have plugged in--several have been tried.  I've plugged them into the front jack, the rear jack, run the troubleshooter every time I plug in a different device, updated the driver, but the result is always the same--microphone is not plugged in. 

Any suggestions?

TRRL mic requires Adapter AND you must use the OEM Audio driver before it will SEE anything plugged in.

Every time windows 10 forces a feature update you will have to remove audio driver and restart then install audio driver as administrator.
