I'm not quite clear on what that means, but it sound like hardware problems or wrong connectors. Most newer laptops have a single 4-conductor jack like a phone which combines the headphones and microphone. Some headsets may have the correct single jack, but most I've seen have two separate plugs, one for the headphone and one for the microphone. This requires a Y adapter that combines the two in the right way to the 4 conductors. This is what I use. You mention a Y connector, but is that a stereo splitter or the 4-conductor combiner?
This isn't a new laptop; it's at least ten years old. The cheap Walmart headphones has a single cord that ends in a jack. That goes into a Y connector that lets you plug into both the headphone and the mic. It's not important, as I'm not expecting to need it in the future.
