That headphone/mic combo sounds like it has a connector for an iPhone/iPad and PS/4 gaming console. This type has a "Tip/Ring/Ring/Sleeve" conector If this is what you have, you will have to get an adapter that splits that into two stereo plugs to use on a PC.

No problem. That's what we are here for. You are not the first one to post with this same thing and probably won't be the last.
