Normally, yes, but I had set my computer speakers instead of headset to be the primary device for sounds.
Solved Bought wrong microphone for recording lectures, will this adapter work?

Man... something is either wrong with my Surface, or the adapter that I bought. I plugged in a pair of headphones into the splitter in multiple ways. One jack, other jack, both mic and phones plugged in, either one. In any configuration my headphones do not work when plugged into the splitter, but they work when plugged directly into SP3. AHHHHHHH. I'm really sorry, this problem has gone way beyond what is worthwhile to fix. BUT, I have invested so much time and energy into figuring out the WHY's that I have to see this through. It will haunt my dreams and wake me in the middle of the night if I don't fix this... Man has mastered technology, not the other way around. Bare with me. I'll buy another splitter tomorrow and see if it helps.
Edit to add: Just bought this little guy!!!
Hopefully it works a little better....

@supremekizzle I am going to go on "record" and say, that this "sounds " like the solution.

This little guy needs some wheels on it... it so looks like the Little Engine That Could sans wheels.
Appears that the red ring might be rubber, to help isolate direct vibrations.
With recent legislations, this might become vey popular in Colorado.

Well the little train worked! I actually can put decent audio with my lecture notes now! Well, the term "decent" is used loosely as this little mic isn't exactly high end. I'll play with recording settings to see what I can do. Recording at 48kbps mono gets the job done though for now. Thanks for all the suggestions regarding my original microphone. Too bad it was never figured out though... Oh well...
Oh, and that red ring is actually a light that glows to let you know the mic is on. Not sure how I feel about it just yet...
