Audio Splitter HALP ME!

I am using a laptop which only has 1 jack, but i wanted to use headphone's mic so i bought an audio splitter for it. After i tested it out the audio is working fine but the mic isn't picking up anything.

Is it possible the reason why it wont work because the audio has 3 stripe things and the headphone only 2?

Yes, combined audio jack needs a "3 stripe things" 3.5mm to 2 "stripe things" female adapter.

I don't quite understand that. My combined audio jack is 3.5mm and my headphones has 2.5mm. so you're saying that isn't compatible rather i need to have a 2.5mm combined jack?

In that case you have to use adapter for appropriate sizes. 3,5mm male to two 2.5mm female.

I still don't get what you are saying so I just need a 2.5mm one?

No, size have to match what they are going to, If computer has 3.5mmm than male part of adapter (the 3 ring) has tomatch that. On the other side it needs two female 2.5mm plugs to match your headphones and microphone if that's what you have.

My laptop is 3.5mm. Splitter is 3.5mm so that part is good. the other side of the 3.5 should be 2.5mm which is the same as my headphones. So its all correct still mic doesn't pick up and sounds only audio
