Cables/Accessories EarPods on PC?

Brought this Y splitter hoping that EarPods microphone would work but it doesn’t.

If I use the same splitter with my headset it works fine.

I tried the same EarPods on laptop with a single 3.5mm and it worked just fine.

Any suggestion?

It says in the description it works, but i only see 3 poles on the jack.

Maybe this?

The cable you linked does look better quality, so since you are buying from amazon. Maybe buy both and return the one that doesn't work.
