I just bought a microphone that plugs into the headphone socket. On recording devices/show disabled devices it doesn't show up

I just bought a new microphone, plugged it in (no driver) and it doesn't record but my internal microphone still does and my new one doesn't show up. Ideas?

mics usually plug into the mic jack.
Which mic did you buy and what device are you trying to use it on?
