What kind of adapter did you get?

Your soundcard will have lots of jack sockets.
At least centre/sub, front l/r, and rear l/r.
It'll probably have line in and mic in also.

Are you definitely plugged into the right port, and have you selected that port as your input device in windows or your recording software?

I dont know to explain. but it is one that when you plug it on, change jack for mixer to 3.6mm jack

1/4 to 3.5mm jack reducer right?

Is the microphone known to work?

Try it in a guitar amp or something.

Is your adapter mono but should be TRS or vice-versa?
