Question / Help Why isn't my mic displaying in OBS?

[Johnsomething]

I recently got a Logitech h111 headset, and when I insert it into the audiojack, it doesn't display on OBS in the Audio section where all the mics should be. Please help, I really don't know what to do.

It won't show up as a h111.
It will show up as a microphone for the soundcard you have on your system.

So what will it show up as specifically?
THere's Realtek and default and disable.
I still need some clarification.

Yep, that isn't a USB headset. The computer doesn't care what you have plugged into the sound card; it only ever "sees" the sound card itself.

So, basically, I have to use Realtek to use the mic that I bought..?

Realtek is your sound card. So yes. You have to select the mic input from your Realtek sound card.

So, just click Realtek.
Thank you all for your replies!
