Recording is done via laptop mic

Hi,

I am connecting my mic to the mic socket but the recording is done via hte laptop mic and not via the mic.

I know this becuse the quality is bad and also the volume on the mic is not affecting the recorded sound volume.

Does any one know how to solve this?

I am using windows 10.

Thank you

Right-click the 'speaker' icon in the notification area (bottom-right of the Windows 10 screen) and click OPEN SOUND SETTINGS.

Confirm that the input device is the correct one. Links to advanced audio settings can be found there.
