Headphone - Headset microphone not working on Windows 10 Bootcamp partition Apple Macbook Pro After trying everything I am not able to use the microphone of my Bluetooth headset on windows (doesn’t recognize the mic under the playback settings). As discussed in the 'Are there headset adapters usable for MacBook Pros?' Thread, new Macs DO have a normal Mic level input.However it is combined with the headphone jack (not the 'audio in' port). You can purchase an adapter (such as the 'Headset Buddy') that combines the headphone and mic into a single 'smart-phone' style plug.Note that this will only work properly under Mac OS.

Your combined headphone/mic plug probably has four 'bands' including the tip.

Does your MacBook have one or two audio mini-jack inputs?

If it has one jack, you should be OK, but your headset mic could be defective. Have you tried a different combined mic/headset?

Older MacBooks have two separate jacks for audio input and headphones. 'Line in' audio expects an amplified audio source as input, such as a microphone attached to an external amplifier, or an iPod output through a stereo cable with a mini-plug on each end. Your headphone mic is probably not amplified.

If you have an unamplified mic, you likely won't get ANY sound indication from Line In, even tapping directly on the mic.
