Combo jack use

If I understand correctly, the combo Jack was introduced about five years ago. And, if I understand correctly, the decision does not support an external microphone.

First: what is supported? To do that another way, if two takes were combined into one, but the mic function is not supported, why not Lenovo just eliminate the mic socket and install a single headphone plug?

Second: does anyone know of a hack that can activate the microphone to this Jack feature?

I have a Behringer UFO202, that uses the USB port as an audio input that allows to record. However, there is a continuous signal high frequency it emits to the record.

Third: Thanks for all of you who read, have the same questions, or answer to help. I find just the replacement of two struggling with a strange combo jack when Lenovo might have put it simply in a single headphone plug.

Good day and welcome to the community.

Since the introduction of management combo on several computers in many OEMs, a jack splitter, as shown in this KB:

often helped people with separate headphone and microphone facilities.

I hope this helps a little.

Kind regards.

  • Using online on a headset/mic combo Jack

    Hey people.

    Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section, but I find the Dell Web site somewhat difficult to navigate and wrap around my head.

    Anyway, my question:

    I have an Inspiron 13z, version N311z. It has a plug audio combo, that is, the headphones and the microphone. The problem is, I don't know how to go to the line. I have a suspicion that it is automatic and the computer tries to detect whether the line is a microphone or a headset, but I'm looking to do something online: in other words, it is not a microphone in itself. I looked in the audio options and the Dell Support Center is not particularly help me find answers.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    I looked in my previous post, and I guess it was a little vague.

    I have a shot. It is advertised as headset/microphone combo, although I don't know if this is a new type of jack, I've not heard, or it can be switched between audio in and audio out (I guess).

    You were not vague. But I thought in regards this kind of combo jack, that's not for either a microphone or headphones, but for the two - the kind of headphones with a microphone online, which has a 4 segment rather than the normal 3-segment type.

    I had assumed that this was what the combo was for, but I'm totally wrong in this assumption. If I'm right then you will probably need an adapter of some sort to get a normal plug to work with her.

  • Combo Jack Audio adapter does not

    I recently bought a PC headset adapter for my computer dell alienware 15 "to make sure that I could use my headset into my combo jack. I plug my headphones into the adapter and then into the laptop and I hear static. It is the only sound they play well.

    If I could use my headset

    Hello. You don't need an adapter to use earphones. An adapter is required to use a microphone that has a TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) plug.

    If your headphones deemed to operate when it is plugged into other devices, but do not work when it is plugged into your outlet combo, or the socket is defective or the audio driver (unless you have Windows 10 which has all sorts of audio problems, including headphone plug does not).

    Go to the 15 Alienware support page and the blue BONE 'change' allows you to select your operating system, and then download a new copy of the Creative audio driver in the Audio category. If the plug still does not work after you install the driver then contact support if the laptop is still under warranty.

  • Latitude E5420 headphones/mic combo jack pinout?

    Hi all

    My headset has separate microphone and headphones connectors but my Latitude E5420 came with a single headset/microphone combo Jack. I read on this forum that as the headset buddy adapters should solve the problem, but I could not get any locally to test before purchase.

    I am planning to make my own adapter, but could not find any Dell documentation on this combo Jack, let alone its stitching. Can you guys help me with this, please?

    Much appreciated in advance

    François

    Thanks Jim. I also had an online chat with Dell support, as well as correspondence by e-mail, even sought and obtained feedback from developers, but still no definitive answer.

    Using the fly-wires to connect an open plug a headset I can confirm that the pinout is as given for iPhone here - from the left, right, end to the ground, neck pickup.

    See you soon,.

  • Lenovo E320 combo jack separator - microphone does not work!

    Hello

    I have the problem with the microphone connection on my laptop... Sound card do not. I tried to connect using split (this a http://www.dtpsoft.pl/images/AKC-ADA/AKCDLCADA0030/AKCDLCADA0030_1.jpg ) and put it directly in the nest. In both cases, it doesn't - system detects headset only.

    External microphone appears only when I connect one split - when I put micriphone or helmet (or both) it disappears.

    What can I do with my trifle? Is it possible that the split is broken? Or mabye it is not compatible?

    I have the latest audio drivers from lenovo webside.

    Kind regards

    Tomasz

    OK, I had checked the spliter multimeter and compared with the pattern (http://pinoutsguide.com/HeadsetsHeadphones/lenovo_audio_pinout.shtml) and considered the number of pins 3 and 4 are swapped.

    So now, I have to recognize if it's a failure in the production or I bought wrong dispatcher.

  • INSPIRION 3543 - question about jack combo

    Hi, I have a question about a laptop Inspiron 3543. He installed the combo input jacks, and I need to use the line of input and output audio.

    Question 1: Is - it enough for me for this purpose a headphone splitter - 2 jack x ordinary?

    Question 2: Is this laptop allows you to adjust the entry on the line in mic?

    Sorry for the broken English, but I write with a translator: D

    dayer41
    Question 1: Is - it enough for me for this purpose a headphone splitter - 2 jack x ordinary?

    Hello. Jack combo on the Inspiron 15 3543 is intended to be used with standard stereo headphones, or with headphones (stereo headset with a built-in mono microphone).

    In theory, a dispatcher or an adapter with a plug out of SOCKET (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) can be used with a combo Jack. A plug from SOCKET looks like this:

    However, we have received many messages from people saying that the adapter did not work for them. Some people have posted and said that the adapter works for them.

    Note that the entry of a combo Jack is mono. There is no way to make it be a stereo input.

    dayer41
    Question 2: Is this laptop allows you to adjust the entry on the line in mic?

    You can set the input mic in sound properties volume (Control Panel > Sound). Open the properties of the sound, and then click the recording tab at the top. Right click on the Microphone. Click 'properties '. Click the tab at the top levels to find the sliders to adjust the volume of the mic input.

    It is similar to this image, except that you must click on 'Levels', not 'listen '.

  • Headphone Jack, not to let the two devices at the same time - work Realtek problem - Dell Audio is unusable

    A copy of my post TomsHardware, where no one was trying to help:

    "To begin with, no thread any where online have solved my problem. My problem in the simplest possible terms:

    -J' bought a Razer right headphone, it does not work when it is connected.

    -J' spent the next 4 hours of downloading, re - download, install, uninstall and reinstall the Realtek drivers, because everybody says I had allow a setting or a related subcontractors as struggling separate devices or something, and I do not have the Realtek HD GUI; at least, I don't think so...

    - Then I discovered that Dell has decided to replace GUI from Realtek with "Dell Audio", which had two options, one of them being that it should even display settings or not.

    -J' took a few steps in Dell Community site and spent the Realtek driver with the Microsoft driver, and that got the headset to work.

    -My headset works fine, but the microphone is not yet detected.

    What I have relevance: right Razer headphones + microphone detachable; Dell Inspiron 15 w / only, audio unified; each unique Realtek and Microsoft audio driver compatible with Windows 8.1.

    What I don't have: the Realtek audio Manager.

    What I wish I had not: Audio from Dell.

    Someone please help me on this, because I have just fired over $100 for it, and I intend to use it for professional players and podcasting; no microphone is not cut it.

    Sorry if I look really angry at the moment, but I think we've all been there...

    Thank you. »

    The main issue: there is a definition of Realtek Audio Dell only exists to ban, I need to change that. I need to configure it to allow two different devices to use in the same decision, and Audio Dell replaced Realtek GUI with its own, which is pretty... Pretty useless. The two parameters, as there, one of them is "Show advanced settings", so congratulations to anyone who decided to do this monstrosity.

    Please provide another way to separate input devices that are entered into the same outlet

    A headset devices are already separated in the properties. A helmet is an input device, microphone, which can be set as the default device in the properties (Control Panel > sound > recording tab > micro). It is for the internal microphone until an external microphone is connected. The other part of the headset, the headset is governed by sounds > playback > speakers. Who controls the speakers until the headphones or external speakers are connected.

    Inspiron 15 3542

    Thank you. I wanted to know because a couple of the Realtek drivers have a problem with the headphones or the part headphones headphones. Headphones are recognized by their impedance detection and I think that some of the drivers have their settings come down a little, or too narrow. None of the Realtek for the Inspiron 3542 versions are known to be bad for me, but if you get audio in the headphones using the native driver but not as the pass of the Realtek driver then I feel that the fault is with the Realtek driver. You can see all the drivers that comes from Dell for your model in the Inspiron 15 3542 html page. There is audio for Win7, 8.1 and 10 pilots. "WB" means 8.1 and 'WT' 10. I think that there are 2 of each. Try the two for any operating system you have. (If you have10 which, in itself, could be the problem - other people have said they have started the headphone problems when they installed 10) You should not try to install an older version of the driver on a newer version. First remove the newest one in the control panel.

    It befuddles me that Dell would give us a different GUI that has so few options

    I don't know if Dell Realtek & made that choice for technical reasons or something. I think that some of the laptops did not have the Realtek Manager when Dell has started using Realtek as a supplier, but that changed. Of course no one is happy to have fewer options, but yours is the first post, I've seen that reported to the mic. Many other posters have been unhappy, because Dell's Audio Manager does not provide a way to separately control the volume of the headset which is a problem because they can be much too strong, but the real Realtek Manager has an option to display ' phones as a separate device from the speakers.

    "and I used an adapter USB jack to try my usual Microsoft LifeChat headset).

    Is an adapter USB jack of the same thing that the USB input audio in my previous screenshot? A usb plug avoids the problems of the Realtek combo decision-making because the USB does not use Realtek hardware or driver from Realtek. Headset LifeChat know either, but if they are a usb headset while they should work. USB audio devices are as separate sound cards - each device contains its own audio codec, even the small usb Jack. If a device usb audio does not work, it has nothing to do with the hardware, driver or Realtek Manager.

    each response that I get from either Razer themselves or now these forums was condescending.

    Your two posts today have assumptions that make it difficult to formulate a convincing answer, but I I don't think I'm condescending. I try to avoid the annoyances that we see in so many forums. However, they are your feelings and you have a right to them.

    When I said to forget taking combo, I wasn't brushing off the problem, while recognizing that these mic combo jack issues are difficult, in large part because we can't use the native driver to test the Realtek driver, so we can't easily determine if it is a driver or a hardware problem. It is much simpler to use usb audio, but as I said I don't know what are the special features are required for your purposes of pod casting.

  • How to use the r6100 as a router connected to a modem/router C3700

    Hello - I have a meg Xfinity 150 per second internet package. I bought a router modem C3700 combo and used for a few months. We have more than 20 devices connected to it, I wanted a simultaneous dual band router and bought the r6100. The current configuration is as follows - the coaxil cable enters into the modem or the c3700. A CAT6 ethernet cable goes from the c3700 to port internet r6100.

    No other configuration don't get made in two packages of devices. All settings are stock except for the SSID and password and the password Netgenie has also changed.

    These two SSID is named identical to support dual-band simultaneously. Everything works, but I wonder if it's the safest way to use these two features of netgear. I test in the 90's low extent of the MB per second. We pay for the 150 that makes me think that something is not the optimum installation program. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello japublications

    Not your R6100 as a point of access if you configured so that might explain why it does not work when you do the c3700 a modem only.

  • How to set up a USB Microphone and a headphone audio jack at the same time on Windows 7?

    I recently bought a CAD u37 USB microphone for use in various records and a commentator game on Youtube when I came across a problem. When I plugged the microphone all other sounds immediately extinguished and I couldn't hear the game. I tried to unplug and re - plug in the headphones and the microphone, even play with no helmet without result.

    I did some research and found out it's because the microphone is automatically configured for audio input and output and the card sound/headset, not having a configuration. I've recently considered buying a $5 female jack audio converter USB to work around this problem.
    Will this work, or just be a waste of money? Are there simpler solutions like a flick of a switch of audio control panel configuration? Are there any programs that will allow me to configure the audio and input output? Is it still possible? Thank you!

    Hi Ben,

    I suggest you try to connect USB female to the converter audio jack, this should help to solve the problem with simultaneous USB microphone and audio input jack using headphones.

    If you have any more questions, respond to this post with the State of the question. I'll be happy to help you.
