can headphones with a mic work in mic jack of hp desktop
The Mini tries to use the microphone connector as if they were headphones (output device instead of input device). HP Mini audio jack requires headphones/microphones with a special connector in order to use the microphone. The common connector, shown on the left, works for the headphones, but a microphone will not work. The microphone requires the special plug as shown on the right, that provides an extra band for the microphone.
