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.

  • Does anyone use a headset/mic combo port?

    Hi, we are looking at 4310, which seems to have a single audio port, what he calls a headset/mic combo.

    I've not seen this before. Can someone explain how this works?

    Wouldn't not functional enough to support good quality VOIP?

    Thanks in advance for your comments

    That we can find so far, this combo port is similar to what you would find on a mobile device, like an itouch; Indeed, we use headphones earphones apple - where the microphone part of the cable - with her.  The voice quality is not very good compared to a stand-alone module microphone, but it seems to work.

  • 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

    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,.

  • 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:

    https://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/displays-options-and-accessories/microphone-headset-jack-splitter-Neede...
    often helped people with separate headphone and microphone facilities.

    I hope this helps a little.

  • 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. Yet the fate of the speakers of the laptop and when I try to change the playback devices there is nothing else than the laptop speakers. Any help to do this would be appreciated.

    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.

  • Mic input jack problems Inspiron 9300 - can not find a solution on the forum

    Help, please. I use my laptop to give daily talks and now the microphone does not work.

    Apparently, my mic input jack suddenly developed a problem - from one day to the next without warning. Is there a way to determine if it's hardware related. When you use Skype microphone is not available. When you run the test of the Control Panel, I get a few signals of green activity if I juggle the connector mic, partially from the Jack of the computer. If I plug the mic connector, as it has always worked and is supposed to be, there's no signal activity.

    What is the alternative now check and/or repair?

    Thank you.

  • Logitech USB headset mic has stopped working

    Windows 7 - headset stopped working suddenly

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    About 5 days ago my Logitech USB headset microphone has stopped working.  The helmet always plays the sound, but the microphone is not input all the sounds.

    Things I've done:

    -Uninstalled / reinstalled the Driver Headset, USB Drivers, & sound card driver.

    -helmet I tried on another pc (it worked)

    -tried headphones different USB on my machine (a no exit worked / entry)

    -tried headphones with input jack then the sound card. (has no output worked / entry)

    -bought a new sound card and used the headset with Sockets (has no output worked / entry)

    -tried all the possible configurations of devices of entry & exits in my sound options (nothing worked)

    -Re-enabled the sound card integrated and connected only (output worked / entry has no)

    1 odd thing happens.  If I smack physically the pc microphone picks up which leads me to believe that somewhere the sound is just set really low rather than not working do not at all even if I turned upwards never slider that I can find to max volume.  I get no error.  Nothing has changed recently with my pc.

    Technical support of Logitech said simply that my 500 DSP is no longer supported in the version of Windows 7 SP1.  Logitech provides no drivers, etc except through Microsoft.  Microsoft web site shows incompatible.

    But after going through Control Panel/convenience store, he started working for the micro and headphones.  Hooray!
  • Toshiba 32DV502: is it possible to use speakers while the headset is connected

    Is it possible that the loudspeakers of the TV can be activated when you use headphones?
    I use the headset to get a sound in a stereo amp output but I want TV sound when the car radio is turned off.

    The only way it works is to unplug the cable from the headphones.
    The reaso for the use of the headphone output is so I can have a stereo sound during playback of a dvd.

    > Is it possible that the loudspeakers of the TV can be activated when you use headphones?
    No, I don't think that this is possible.

    Hello sisi

    5th you does not offer enough information on this subject. It will be interesting to know what headphones from Logitech, you exactly. At this volume control panel clean helmet on the cable.

    To be honest, it is not easy to provide any reasonable and direct solution to this.
    Let the volume slider and try to adjust the volume level using the volume settings in the Volume mixer.

    Is it possible to use separately the two keyboard, mouse and monitor with two operating system simultaneously on a single computer for different purposes?

    AMS

    Monitors and keyboards two mice are easy.  You need what is called a (material) KVM switch.

    To make the two BONES the easiest is to run a virtual machine of the other BONE inside your current operating system and put it on the second monitor

    The second step won't be easy
