I'm probably not on the right forum right now. But hey one of you might know.
I wanted to build my own microphone so I pulled the mic out of some crappy IEM headphones and soldered one up with a mono jack. The trouble is my PC doesn't see it as a microphone. And I have no idea why (Electronics Hobbyist Motto "But that should work!") I am using the correct splitter to take the two jacks of the headphones and mic and convert it to the 4 connector type that my ASUS laptop supports.
Is it because the mic has the wrong number of ohms? I'm running out of ideas. I don't want to admit defeat and pick up some $20 mic.
