Re: Microphone jack and intermittent recognition of a new microphone

Open Control panel/Sound... and check (or uncheck :) "Use only default
devices" setting.
Also, check the options for the particular program you have troubles w/ the
mic.
Being a laptop, might be that the workload's soliciting the RAM/CPU/HDD
(paging) to the max.
If the mic. does not work at all, update drivers in Device Manager or
uninstall and reinstall.
