Single corded headset but two seperate jacks, one for headphones and one for microphone

[cosmo]

My headphones only has one cord, but my computer has two jacks. When I use the headphone jack the headphones work but not the mic, and when I use the mic jack the mic works but not the headphones. Is there a way that I can use one of the jacks for the whole headset?

You will need an adapter. Somthing like this:

What he said. Or alternatively, buy a $2.50 Call Center desk mic from your local Office Supply store and be astonished by how good they are.

Also, that sounds like an abysmal headset.
