I have a headset with two jacks, mic and speaker and i have a laptop with a combined mic and speaker input jack. So i bought a adapter, one with three things and plugged it in, but there is no new mic that shows up. I've tried updating drivers, and when i click listen to device for my default mic, i can hear my speaker sounds and this loud pitched ringing. PLEASE HELP
Headset wount work even with combo jack!!!!!!!!!

What kind of an adapter did you buy? You need this kind of an adapter http
/www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-headsets-separate-headphone-microphone/dp/B004SP0WAQ, it has 4 contacts in the plug. You probably bought one with 3 contacts only. You can also use a combo usb sound card like this one http/www.amazon.com/external-Adapter-Windows-Microphone-SD-CM-UAUD/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref=pd_bxgy_23_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RDEPKQP2FGQVVHSH6H9

[strike]@ron
you may want to fix that first link. its broken.[/strike]
looks like you fixed it already.
@loki
yes, you need a 4pole 3.5mm connector or TRRS (tip ring ring sleeve) which has 4 separate parts on the connector going to two 3pole TRS (tip ring sleeve) female connectors to plug the headphones and mic into. either that or a little soundcard like ron listed. from the sound of things you bought the wrong kind of adapter cable (i'm guessing a splitter).
