HeadPhones and desktop mic

[ketchuo]

So yesterday my dog chewed my mic on my headset and made it unusable, good think is it's detachable so my headphones still work.

Now I brought a desktop mic from amazon a few days ago and I was wondering if I can have both the headphones plug in and the desktop mic plug in at the same time and would they work?

It should work fine. My headset plugs in the same way as a separate headphone/mic system would. The mic plugs into the audio in port and the headphones into the audio out port.

yes It will work. even if the headset is integrated via usb you can select the input device you wish to use in the sound options in control pannel. for example if you have a web cam with a built in mic you could use that with your headphones or with speakers or whatever even if the headset has a mic built in.

TL;DR:
yes. if it doesnt work right away check out sound options in control pannel
