problem with microphone

[Clipper]

Well, I have two problems: I've become addicted to Day Z and I need a microphone.

I have some Trush brand headphones (a few years old) with a USB connector. Windows 10 recognizes it and it seems to work, but in Day Z they can't hear me.
But... I don't want to use those headphones because they're very ugly and they hurt my ears.
I have a microphone that's probably... about 20 years old with a 3.5mm jack connector (according to the specs, 3.4) and two poles. If I try to connect it to the motherboard, it doesn't stay hooked.
But if I connect it to the tower connector, it does, but since everything is a problem, I messed with the tower and pulled the cable that connects the MB to that connector (the typical one with two USBs, a micro and headphones).

Could it be that the microphone's jack connector needs to be three-pole?
If so, which poles?
Sorry for the typo.
The option of buying new headphones is out of the question because my speakers are 5.1 and I don't play at night.

Thanks for the suggestions

Hi Clipper,

Don't pay too much attention to me, but I recently bought my father a lapel microphone for the standard PC audio jack, the 3.5mm jack. The problem was that it came with a male plug like this:

And the computer didn't recognize it. It came with an adapter that converted the previous male plug into this:

And using that adapter it worked perfectly right away.

Reading you, I think this complicates things even more for you. If you can, first try the twenty-year-old microphone on another PC, you will surely clear up any doubts about whether the system detects it in the recording devices. Once you have that information, the solution may be to get a basic/economic sound card (there are even USB ones for about four euros), or directly the option I took, (which coincidentally, my father's SupremeFX II broke on his Asus motherboard and he also has the front USB connector broken + mic + headphones) so I was forced to retrieve that same front adapter from an old tower and took it out from the motherboard outside the intended case. All the connectors work perfectly. It's up to your skill to leave it more or less nice, or hanging around in any way

Best regards!

Thanks silver
I was looking through the junk drawer and found a cable that I made years ago, it's a male/male 3.5 three-pole jack cable. I tested it on the MB and it fits perfectly.
If I remember correctly, I made it to transfer tapes (those things we used many years ago) to a PC using the "line" input. In a little while, I'll solder a terminal and change it to the micro.
Regards
I'll let you know if it works
