Can't get mic to work with audio/mic splitter

I have an old headset that came in a bundle (mouse, mat, keyboard, headset) from Costco a couple of years back, some variant of the Razer Blackshark V2 X Gaming Headset. This headset has worked (both mic and audio) for my previous pcs that had a dual jack for mic/audio. My newest pc has two separate dedicated jacks for each. So, I used the splitter for the first time since I got it in the box with the headset all those years ago. The thing is, I cannot get the mic to work at all, only the audio. The Line in is supposedly the mic but it does not work at all. there is very little that I have not clicked on to see if it’s under a different name in the mic settings.

 

Any help is appreciated!

Does the headset audio and mic still work if you connect it now to a device with a 3.5 mm audio + mic jack port, such as laptops, tablets, or smartphones? Did you try using another 3.5mm stereo audio female to two (2) male headset/mic Y Splitter cable adapter? Please let me know how it went. Feel free to send me a PM anytime.
