Which jack for wired headset/microphone: 3.5 mm or usb microphone?

For those using cable headsets with microphone for calls and listen to music, what type of jack you like your headphones to use: standard 3.5 mm jack on the top of the phone or plug micro usb on the side?

I had assumed the 3.5 mm Jack was the only solution, but when I searched for the Droid compatible wired headsets listening on the motorola site, everything they offer is headsets micro usb connected.  It made me wonder if this type offers the best sound quality, more features, less bugs, etc.

Dan the right on compensation for microUSB jacks.  With the mcroUSB used so often and for different tasks, you can not over-emphsize the importance of being careful (and sweet) to connect to them.

The earphones supplied with theBlackberry Pearl don't work well for me but I can not find a headphones using the 3.5 mm 4 connector plug used by the Blackberry I can find an adapter to use the other great headphones that I already own (uses two jacks 3.5 mm plugs, one for a microphone for the speaker.) Ideally, a type Y 2 Female3.5mm 2-pin plugs to 1 male 3.5 mm 4 pole would be the ideal solution. I would still make an adaptor myself if I cold find a seller for the connector 4 taken 3.5 mm jacks.

  • Droid wired headset problem/Question

    Hello

    Anyone else have a problem with the volume being really quiet or silent call on wired headset plugged on Droid?

    The 3.5 mm jack seems to work in music mode very well. I can hear MP3s sound level expected, however, when in call volume helmet falls to zero or almost zero level and cannot be increased. Other callers can hear me (the microphone works) but I do not hear their return or sound extremely tiny.

    I tried with two headphone 3.5 mm to 4 different drivers - iPhone and Blackberry - two I have this problem on appeal and at the same time, both are great for listening to music. I first noticed this problem after 2.0.1 OTA update 2.0 original. Recent update 2.1 has not solved this problem.

    I saw a big bunch of "similar sounding but NOT the same" problem/questions about integrated earpiece does not work once the headset is disconnected. I don't seem to have this problem. The problem I am describing applies to the volume wired headset for calls only.

    Thank you very much!

    If you get it replaced make sure you only change the SD card to the new.  Then, you won't lose any of these data.  You can save all your texts on the SD card with an application called SMS Backup & Restore.  The first time you open Market and tap Menu-> downloads it will show you all of your applications.  Paid and free.  If you leave this same screen so before installing all the they will disappear.  Write all your apps prior would be a good thing to do.  I hope this helps.

  • HP Envy 14 HEADSET MICROPHONE DOES NOT WORK

    Hi, I have a HP Envy 14-1111 nr laptop computer with Windows 7 and I always had problems with working microphones. I plug in my headphones and put plugs in the appropriate ports, including through taking Mic in port with a picture of a headset/microphone. I also put the audio plug on the correct port.

    The audio still works fine I can hear things properly from the helmet. But the microphone NEVER WORKS. I made sure the microphone is on and I put the headset microphone as the default recording device, and made sure it's not muted and even tried like 3 different types of helmets, but it still does not work.

    My computer recognizes my headset has a microphone when I plug it, because the independent headset appears on my recording devices. But any point the noise I into the microphone, my computer does not recognize him. Basically, it is saying that it cannot detect all the sounds of the mic.

    It's incredibly frustrating because I spent money on different microphones, but now I think it's the fault of my computer. Is there something wrong with the microphone/headphone jack? What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you.

    Solution: the HP Envy laptop is not a microphone jack, it has a "headphone" which is designed to work with smartphones.

    In order to use a headset with microphone with this computer, you need a conversion cable so that you can convert your helmet at the exit of the smartphone. I just ordered it on amazon, it should be here soon.

    Boring, but at least I think it is resolved.

  • Headset microphone does not work on Aspire E14. Help please?

    I bought a laptop Aspire e14 and a headphone (GE Voip stereo headset 98974), but the headset microphone is not detected by my laptop.  I tried other headphones, but the microphone still does not work. I updated the driver but it still does not work.

    Device Manager does not detect the other microphone.

    Helmet has a single 4-pin socket.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    EUREKA!

    I managed to solve the problem!

    In case you are experiencing the same, this could work:

    1. pull upward the TASK MANAGER. Under the "Startup" tab, check if the Realtek HD Audio Manager is disabled. If so, right-click on it and then click on 'enable '.

    2. search for "Realtek HD Audio Manager" and click on it.

    3. on the Microphone tab, check that the microphone is not on mute and click the icon of the folder on the right side

    4. Once you click on the folder on the right side, a pop up as will appear and you will need to make sure that the box is checked as the image below:

    5. now, plug your headset device and you should see a pop-up message like so... and check on the option button "HEADPHONES".

    Now you can test the microphone using sound recorder or Skype.

    It worked for me and I felt so helpless.

    I even tried Acer support cat and the person has not yet asked troubleshooting and just told me to bring the product to a service centre

    I hope this helps!

  • NAC L2 OOB VG Design for wired

    Hi all

    I need help of the NAC 2 OOB virtual layer for wired users design bridge . On Cisco documentation configuration only example is present, but it is for wireless users who is not applicable to my case (wired users); Here are the details; Please correct me if the design does not at any time;

    1: create a virtual local network (241) for the management of the CAM on the kernel.

    2: create a virtual local area network (240) for the management of CASES on the kernel.

    3: the IP addresses of both (10.10.240.1) E0 and E1 (10.10.240.1) for the CASE will be on the same subnet and same ip address.

    4: create all Trusted SVI's VLAN (vlan 10,20) on the kernel.

    5: configure manage subnets for vlan not reliable (100, 200) on CASES

    6: create a vlan mapping n/b approved and not approved (10 to 100, from 20 to 200)

    7: core connected to the CAs: E0, trunk allowed vlan 10, 20, 240

    8: core connected to the CAs: E1, trunk allowed vlan 100, 200

    9: another typical configuration

    I don't have a LABORATORY to test. I'm just confused if I missed something as implementation will be critical, and I'll try to avoid all risks.

    Please give me suggestion and best practices. Also please let me know if I need a config added?

    Kind regards

    Abdul Majid Khan

    Abdul,

    Port profiles are used to determine if a port is managed or not managed, so you will need at least a port profile. Here you can define what will be the VLAN initial of the switchports that the final VLAN will be etc etc.

  • 802. 1 x EAP - TLS for wired users with ACS 5.5

    Hi all

    We are setting up a new configuration for wired users authentication with 802.1 x (EAP - TLS). ACS 5.5 we use as an authentication server.

    We have added the certificate (internal) CA root and certifcate for ACS signed by CA. Now, we want to check that authentication works or not. I hope that the CA root and identity certifcate also we need to install in laptop computers. But I don't know how to download the certifcates for client machine manually to CA.

    Please suggest on how to get certificates for clients both manually and automatically?

    Thank you

    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,

    for Wired 802.1 x (EAP - TLS) you must have the following certificates:

    Intermediate server on ACS - Root CA, CA certificate,

    The customer - Root CA, intermediate CA, user certificate (in the case of user authentication) or Machine certificae (in the case of authentication of the computer)

    I do not know what third-party certificate you use, if its Microsoft in the House or any other certificate server, you need to download the client certificate to the server itself.

    In the case of Microsoft, there will be a user certificate template. You can select and create user certificate

    This is an old document, but a computer certificate for the user configuration steps, you can see the steps to download the certificate user if his server from Microsoft:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/secure-access-control...

    In case you use the third serevr certificate, then you must check with them on how to download the certificate of the user

    See you soon

  • How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    Hello, welcome.

    The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
    For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
    For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
    1. click on START > run
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN
    5. click on START > run
    6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    7. type chkdsk /r and press enter
    8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume
    9. allow the system to plan restarting
    10. restart your computer
    11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive
    12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine
    13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

    Let us know what happens
