Ok so i bought a proper 1/4 inch jack microphone for my beatboxing because my webcam mic was spoon. so i got it and i also  go the 3.5 mm stero to 1/4 in adaptor with it but when i got home i switch the mic on (it doesn't have a light to tell me if its switched on or not but it just has the up and down on and off) and i plugged it the 3.5mm bit into the microphone port but then computer is reading it as disconnected. Could someone shed some light on my problem
