    The problem is the microphone! Using the adapter you can plug in a MONO microphone into your laptop, but the microphone you have is stereo, and thanks to the spacing on it's input plug it won't work even with the adapter! The simple answer to this really is to forget this mic and get a mono mic that WILL work!
