    I have an Eluktronics P650HP6-G (Sager 8156) running Windows 10 Home (21H2) and I'm trying to make a JBL Quantum 100 headset work using a splitter similar to this model. I've tested it on another laptop with the same headset an it works just fine, but this other system only has 2 dedicated jacks, headphone and microphone, while my laptop has 3 audio jacks:
    - a 2-in-audio jack (headphone / S/PDIF-out jack)
    - a microphone jack
    - a line-out jack

    What happens: when I connect the headset to the adapter and it to the correct jacks (headphone and microphone), the mic doesn't work and the sound comes out through the laptop speakers. If I connect it only to the headphone jack, with or without the adapter, it works but not the mic. If I connect only to the mic jack, nothing works. I've tested the same adapter using a Logitech H151 and the same thing happens.

    Does anyone have suggestions or ideas how to solve this or why this happens? Am I missing any configuration?

    Thanks in advance for all the help!
