The firmware on the Hero 5 Session nerf'd it, you can revert the firmware to an older version which allows you to use the external mic adaptor and mic and still be able to just use the top button to start recording with it all working. I have made a vid on how to fix it, not the greatest quality help vid but it helped Jake The Garden Snake sort his audio.

This is the thread with the video:

Although I have a GoPro Hero 6 Black, and a GoPro Hero 7 Black I still use my GoPro Hero 5 Session as a helmet camera, great little cameras if you can get the one touch record work with an external microphone! :)

I personally use a Drift Ghost S. I was going to upgrade my Drift Ghost S to one of the newer Drifts but there has been quite a few issues with regards to using the mic adapters.
