Hi everyone,
I am having trouble with the combo audio port of my laptops. I want to use external audio sources for which I have used :

and

and
https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B010FO20R6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The cable goes in the microphone port of the splitter/adapters. Listen to this device is checked under sound->Microphone-Recording but no sound comes out of the laptop speakers.
I can't capture any external audio into softwares like OBS or Premiere Pro.
What am I doing wrong? Please help me to use the Laptop Combo port as Line in port.
Thanks in advance.

No, you can't use it as line in, you need USB sound card with line in such as

Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried USB and It worked but I needed the combo port to work as Spectre has one less port then needed.
External Capture box goes in one USB-A, One USB C is used for Network Adapter and another USB C for power, No port left for Sound card.
