Gene, issue is this lenovo doesn't offer any form of separate
microphone, or line-in socket - only a single 3.5mm audio socket where I
generally have just speakers plugged in, and, AFAIK, it can use dual
jack headphones, etc., or something, but, am not sure if the hardware
would then just replace the internal microphone's input with that one,
or not, so that's all was saying.
Stay well

It's not a USB microphone is it? You say its plugged into the microphone jack. Then try wha5tever is available as the source. A computer, as far as I know, doesn't know or reflect what microphone is plugged into the microphone jack or whether one is at all. In my experience, if you select the only microphone choice available, it will use the external microphone if plugged in. You are introducing a new microphone into the circuit, not changing the source.

Sameer, my lenovo only seems to have a single input socket for something
like a dual microphone/headphone, so, honestly, I think that with this
hardware, we might need to use something like an additional USB audio
adapter, but, haven't really tried it much - this is my primary machine,
but, I generally use my older, spare acer laptop, which has a proper
stereo line-ine socket for recording with audacity.
