External microphone (Boya BY-M1) not working on Dell Inspiron 15

If I connect my earphones, the speaker and mic of the earphones work fine. However, if I connect an external mic (model: Boya BY-M1), it doesn't work and the mic does not detect any sound. I chose the "mic in" option when the prompt comes after plug in. How do I fix it?

This ought to solve your problem:

When you put the 3.5mm jack into its place in the laptop, windows 10 will ask you to choose what device you connected, you need to choose Headset, not mic in, nor headphone, neither speaker out.
Keep the mic switch off (towards OFF/SmartPhone), and enjoy using the mic.

 

I hope this helps!

Thanks for your response. I tried this out and I could be heard on Zoom, but I could not hear the other member on Zoom. I think the other person just picked up my laptop mic, since she could not hear my tapping on the mic.

Plugging in Mic as headset means that by default output also gets divered to that device. If you have a different output like an attached monitor or BT hearphones then you can configure the output to go there. That's what I've had to do. I'm just trying to get the same Mic to work on my Dell XPS and finding that headphones setup the mic levels are so poor that I'm sending it back to Amazon tomorrow. Piece of junk. Works ok if I hold it to my mouth.

I've tried this and also it doesn't work. A notification pops up and it says,

Warning

This device type is not supported

 

My pc is dell inspiron 3593 and its windows 11, i don't think it is the reason the mic is not compatible because it works on my android phone. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS
