Thanks o for the help, Valter, but I couldn't do it. I've tried as you told
me to, but my "config" of the mixer doesn't show the "Mic Select" option.
The only available options are:
Beep
Capture
Capture2
Channel mode
Input source
Input source 2
And none of the (previously) selected options I had made had that option
either.

Hi Helder,
Go to Mixer in System Tray, Settings > Configure channels. Add "Mic Select"
to
the active group and, while mic and phones plugged in, select the number of
the Mic. the check box in the "Mic" panel must be enable, obviously.
I chose Mic2 for my system and now it works.
