    Question Mic in headphones is not recognized ?

    Thank you! yes, you were correct with your first statement. I had continued searching for reasons afterward and purchased a female Trrs to two male Trs Y splitter cable, and it works wonderfully now. Of course, no controls on the apple earbuds though, since apparently apple has made their...

    Question Mic in headphones is not recognized ?

    Personally built a computer recently and ran into a few immediate problems. But first and most important to me is the fact that with my Soundcore Q35 headset, Windows doesn't detect any input sounds or the fact it has a mic when using the wire instead of bluetooth. I've tried every audio jack...

    60 is around my max yes, not necessarily is amazon my only source, but I do have most access there. Micro center may be used, if it not in-store only since I do not live anywhere near one.

    Thanks for the opinion, I'm trying my best with what I can do. Yes it is a lot of limiters, I think I already addressed this though. A priority doesn't necessarily mean a necessity. I know not everything here can help build up other parts but that is no bother, I simply intend to lookout for...

    Right, sorry. I made a mistake and was going to leave it for looking over when it got closer to the time I'm going to buy. I must've accidentally filtered for non-wifi MOBO's. I think I have both builds situated in a such a way if any significant price drops happen I'll probably go for that...

    I am seeing more of you suggest r5 5600g now, so can I ask what do you guys think would be the most noticeable/immediate differences if i went amd's way versus intels? Is there any specific benefits besides maybe a better balance between browse and play? Is it a myth amd doesn't play as nice...

    @thestryker Thank you for the feedback. I think though I like the looks of the i3-12100, especially due to gamer nexus review videos (and others,) and even a review from toms hardware which reassures me it should do well enough fps wise. (With a gpu, I know, but even still.) It wont be until a...
