Are there any textbooks that I don't have that might be beneficial? I recognize that some of these references are not purely for scholarly purposes, and they'll more or less be used as inspiration than education.
I'm more focused on getting contemporary works that delve into modern understanding for educational purposes.
Thanks!

Hey y'all!
I've had a JBL TUNE 500 headset for a while now, but I've recently found that the microphone doesn't work on my PC.
I realised it when I tried to speak to a friend through the Steam voice chat. He couldn't hear me ,and we spent like half an hour troubleshooting. We tried approving Steam to access my sound devices, checking the drivers, restarting, etc.
I've even bought a jack-splitter so the cable can connect through both the speaker and mic ports.
What I've found since then is that my microphone registers, but it shows that it isn't plugged in, even though it is plugged into the correct spots.
Is there any way to fix this? I can hear audio totally fine, but I can't user the mic.
Any help would be appreciated!

Any more essential/effective reading material?

JBL TUNE 500 Mic not working, says isn't connected, have tried a bunch of things!
