Connect Headphone and mic

In order to use Google phone, I want to purchase a combination mic. and headphone to connect to my mac mini, but I can't figure out how to connect to the mini. Will it connect into a usb connection or is there jack receptical to include the mic. Thank you.

RJ and Omug: Thank you for your helpful response.
However, I have found on line a USB adapter that will accept the mic and headphone combination with two individual jacks. Will the a headphone and mic with two individual 3.5 mm jacks work on my mac mini by using the USB adapter with a powered USB hub? There seems to be more selection at a lower price with the two individual jacks and the adapter rather than the usb connected headphone/mic.

Can't get Headphone and Mic to work with Skype

Hello, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro and I am running OS 10.8.3. I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result. I finally phoned Skype support and they told me that there are some registry settings that are corrupted and that they could install the proper ones on my MBP for $149.99. I told them I did not want to spend that kind of money but I am curious if anybody else is having that issue and if anybody has a solution. Is it true that my registry values could be corrupted causing this issue. If I start up Parallels and open Skype in Windows 7 I have no issues whatsoever using the headphone. It works every time but I cannot get it to work on the Mac platform. I would appreciate any advice anybody might have. Many thanks in advance.

What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system.

Possibility to route Sound? (connect headphone and speakers at the same ti

Hi is it possible to route the sound of my X-FI Titanium (PCIe)?
I want to connect Headphone and 2. Speakers at the same time and want to be able to decide where the sound comes out.
It wasnt possible with my previous audigy 2zs, but it thought now it could be possible, because every cheap onboard sound can do that.
The only solution so far was to choose stereo surround but that wont work in games because most games recognise 4 speakers and some sound is missing.
Any hints?
Thanks in Advance

I used to be able to do that in XP with an SB Li've 024 which?was like 2+2 stereo card before 5. came out.
Thinking....maybe somethig like [url="http://www.pccables.com/images/05004.jpg">this[/url]?(3.5mm STEREO JACK Y-SPLITTER ADAPTER) plugged into front out for headphones and front speakers.
You can also get a cable that does similar.

Connecting case headphone and mic sockets to X

I want to be able to connect my PC cases headphone and microphone sockets to my X-Fi (XtremeMusic). I can't use the dri've bay expansion box thing because I have a door on my case, and it's too expensi've anyway.
The AD_EXT connection on the card has many pins. Would I be able to just connect up the pins that are used for mic and headphones
Any ideas/advice?

That question was answered many times around here, you need just to search...Message Edited by SoNic2367 on 07-25-2006 08:27 PM

Yes it's a mono 3.5mm >> RCA adapter (or a stereo 3.5mm >> 2xRCA cable). You need to use the orange socket labelled 'DIGITAL OUT'.

Headphone and mic sockets on Xtreme mus

Ok so i just installed my Xtreme music card and it went fine, but its the sockets on the sound card im not sure about?I have put my green speaker lead into the right socket (2nd from the left) and i have put my headset mic into the first socket and they both work great. The only problem is that i am left with my green?headphone plug/jack?(not sure the tech term) with no where to go other than where my speakers are plugged in?So this means every time i want to listen through my headphones i have to go to the back of my comp and swap the speaker and headphone jacks!
Am i missing something can someone please tell me a way to change from speaker to headphones without doing this?

The Black Cable is the one with the 0 pin connector that connects to the card. The other one is a cable running from the TAD connector to the 56K Modem card (internet) which i don't use. I just reattached it so it would't be hanging loose inside. Your motherboard is the biggest thing you will see inside the case. You will see the PCI slots where your video, sound, modem cards are seated. If you are uncomfortable opening your PC don't. If you want to have a looksee, power down your PC remove all cables attached including the power cord. Press the power switch momentarially to discharge the system. Open up the case and touch a metal part first to ground yourself. Piece of cake. If you have your user manual consult that first.

Headphone and mic jacks do not work

I disabled the onboard audio drivers to install an Audigy 2ZS board in my new Dimension 900. Now the Dell factory installed mic and headphone jacks on the front of the computer do not work. I'm assuming thats because I disabled the onboard drivers? Any way to get them working with the 2ZS card? I understand that the mic and headphone jacks have cables that can be hooked to a card. Does the 2ZS support this kind of hookup?
Thanks

Hey everyone
It's very possible to connect your front jacks to Audigy. I'm currently using my headphones that way.
Here is what you do:
. On top you audigy card

2. Audigy pin assignments (connect you front panel cable to things marked in red)
AUDIGY FRONT PANEL CONNECTIONS======================================= =========================
- Analog Ground< 2 - Headphone Out (Left) 3 - Audio Backpanel Mute -- mute (ground) the backpanel when using headphones< 4 - Headphone Out (Right) 5 - same as #3< 6 - Mic Input 7 - key pin (shouldn't be there) 8 - VREF out -- voltage reference for Mic 9 - MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in0 - Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in (not used)
I'm still working out the kinks. For instance, if you've ever had an Audigy Dri've (comes with Platinum and Pro version of Audigy), you know that when you plug in headphones, sound to speakers mutes and Creative Speaker Settings panel automatically switches to "Headphones". That was nice. I don't know if it's possible this way.
Enjoy,

Headphones and Mic do not work with Vi

I have a Soundblaster Audigy 4, and am using Windows Vista. The Creative Audio Console recognizes that I have a mic and headphones plugged in, but they do not work at all. Switching the audio output from speakers to headphones merely causes the volume to raise to 00%, but the sound still comes through my speakers. Any help out there?

Headphone and mic jack

hello all .
i have a hp pavilion with beats audio 15inch screen -
i recently purchesed it at christmass.
but i was using my iphone earphones and skyping and the micophone jack wast picking up the mic on the earphones .
it was still using the built in mic
i really do not want to go and buy a head set . i do like my iphone earphones

Hi @mcmanus90
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I saw your post regarding the problem using the iPhone earphones. Try setting them as the default recording device. This third-party link will show you how to do it. Now it is for Windows 7 but if you search for Control Panel from your tile page and go to Sound it will be the same from there.
Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue.

My MacBook Pro has an aerphone jack but nothing for microphone. I am trying to use Dragon Dictate and a friend gave me a USB attachment to connect to the mic and headphone. It is in a transparent plastic case charcoal gray in color and says 3D sound on th

I have Dragon Dictate but did not notice until now that the earphone jack is only for listening so I cannot dictate using headphones and the mic on the computer is not good enough for that. A friend gave me a USB card that says 3D Sound on top; it is a plastic case, charcoal gray in color and side jacks to connect headphone and mic. Connected to computer but it does not do a thing. Any ideas on how to make it work?

You are not supposed to connect a pair of speakers(as in left and right in a stereo pair)to two separate out jacks on the sound card.the place on the card where headphones/speakers with the mini jack goes is the right place.

Headphones and 5.1 speakers?

I have a 5.1 sound card and there are two plugs left. one for sound and the other for the mic, i tried plugging my headphone and mic in them but when doing the sound test i don't hear any sound coming from the headphone, i remember i used to have both sounds from my old 2.1 speakers and sound card.

MillerDaMan,
Which sound card you have? All I can think at the moment is you could have connected the headphone to the wrong connector jack on the sound card. It should be something like Line out .
