1. You wrote about earbuds. Mine don't have a mic so I don't expect it to switch to the mic input.
2. There are folk that go on the web and find a realtek driver. I didn't read where you checked the Lenovo page or asked Lenovo for drivers.
3. Here on my W10 machine I have the old Windows Mixer. On the Recording tab I can select other things just like I have for almost 2 decades. I know folk want it to be automatic but Windows is that old.
Hey, guys, I never really wanted to get Windows 10, but here I am with a new laptop and windows 10 was my only choice So, basically, when I plug my earbuds into the headphone jack, it doesn't detect that a working mic is connected - even though the sound is properly channeled through the earbuds.
Any advice on how to fix this? I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek drivers
