Update your post to include hardware specs and OS.

One source of this type of problem is the details of the connector on the end of the headset cable. The more common headset system has a cable with TWO plugs on its end. One is colour-coded green and is for the earphones, and the other is coded pink and is for the microphone. On each of these the jack has THREE contacts: tip, one ring, and the sleeve. Almost all computer cases come with front audio jacks to accept this type, with two sockets side-by-side and colour coded for those two jacks.

Another common type has a cable ending in only ONE jack and that has FOUR contacts: tip, TWO rings, and a sleeve. This jack will NOT make the proper connections in a three-contact front panel socket, and hence will not work properly. IF that is your situation, OP, you need this type of adapter.

NOTE that it specifies that its FEMALE socket contains FOUR contacts, and its two output jacks each contain three contacts. Note also that the two output male jacks have colour codes on them to match the pair of sockets on the front of your computer.
