My pc is using wrong mic on headphones

It is using the mic on the headphone its self and not the remote mic on the wire, what do I do?

If you have multiple mics that windows can see you need to tell windows which one to use: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9oGIRaS8wk

above is win 10, here is a win7 version in case you need it. it's roughly the same

assume "no" means you only see one microphone in Windows.

That means you have to do something in the headset itself to change which mic is used, but you have not post what headset you are using.
