So currently I'm trying to use a couple different sets of 3.5mm in ears as a microphone, however whether I use the front panel or rear jacks its using the headphones themselves as the mic, the front panel also seems to permanently put out static when I listen to it, I've checked for drivers and can't find any at all, I'm not sure if I'm just being dumb however I distinctly remember being able to do so in the past, kinda on a tight budget and proper headsets aren't my thing as I prefer in ears, one set are Sennheiser CX300S and the other are Sony MDR-EX650AP so they're not exactly dirty buds Wink W10 Home 64bit, Fractal Design Core 1000 Case, ASRock AB350M Pro4, Ryzen 7 1700x, 20GB DDR4, Palit GTX1650, Thermaltake TR2 S 500W, 256gb generic SSD

Find a Y splitter designed for a four-pin connector, connecting it to a separate microphone and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
