When using headphones, Microphone becomes static.

Hello. When using my audio jack, which is a multimedia one btw, It statics out my internal microphone. I have no clue what causes it. iv tried reinstalling sound and microphone drivers but nothing works.

Exactly what model Ideapad? For example z560.

What kind of headphones?

Do You have Stereo Mix set as the Default Recording Device?

Hello Fire, The model is a Flex 15,

Usually i use a pair of skull candies with a on-line microphone, since my computer recognizes it.

And Stereo mix is set as default.

That didn't help as Lenovo documentation doesn't detail exactly what type of jack you have.

What type of plug is the skull candies? Is it the same type as used in an iPhone? which is a Tip/Ring1/Ring2/Sleeve and the headset is probably just the standard tip/ring/sleeve plug. If this is the case that is probably the reason.

Well, if it helps you any further, The serial number is QTF1TD34201808

And i think, its a tip/ring/ring/ring/sleeve, but il attach a pic so you can see.

The Serial number doesn't help. Its the limited Lenovo Documentation.

So, Am i just screwed? If so il buy a new audio board and fix it.

The only "audio board" you can use with a Laptop is USB connected audio device.

Has this ever worked correctly with just the headphone?

Yeah, A good while back it just blew, so im just trying to get it fixed because my internal microphone really sucks.
