As a wild guess, it is a BENGOO G9000, like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DT9Q4M9P > I has 2 plugins: USB and a rod (about 1.5 mm). The description says, it's an analog headset with a 3.5mm CTIA plug. The "USB" connection is just used to power the LEDs. > I am using 4 plugins on the front of my computer > if it matters . 2 USD and 2 plugins for sound stuff. When you have two audio sockets, it's probably one for speakers and one for microphone. The minimum that needs to exist is an adapter from the 3.5mm plug to your two audio sockets. The headset has a button to mute the microphone. There are also some reports that the microphone has a weak signal. In any case, audio is done by your computer. Please tell what audio hardware it uses (dmesg should show) and also report the output of 'audioctl -a' and 'mixerctl -a' (maybe with the -d option to select the right audio device if you have multiple).
