dreamgear headset mic not working on PC

Solution
The port you are plugging into may be for a headset only (output only) and that would not allow a mic to work. Also, if it is a dual plug headset and you are using a 3.5mm adapter to plug into one jack (even an input/output dual jack) it still may not work. For some reason many of those do not like working with the dual jacks.

My suggestion would be to either get an adapter that can make your 3.5mm (or 3.5mm dual) jack headset connect to the computer via USB. Or get a headset that already has a USB connections.
