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.

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:

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,

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.

This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need.

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.

Y410p Front headphone and microphone jacks not working after repair

I recently (last month) sent my IdeaPad Y410p in to Lenovo for repairs due to the laptop not turning on, or repeatedly restarting at the BIOS screen. The laptop was repaired by Lenovo (they replaced the motherboard), and returned it to me. The laptop has worked great sincce then, except that the two USB ports on the right side and the headphone and microphone jacks do not work. I have reinstalled the audio drivers, twice, but have not reinstalled the chipset drivers at all, as I don't want to screw around with those untiol I no more about what I should do. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Talonek, welcome to the forums,
the problem you are experiencing is probably due to the cable connecting the ports on the right side, front of system, to the mainboard unfortunately not being connected or connected properly. Please see pdf page 52 of the system's Hardware Maintenance Manual.
I've never taken an Y410p apart, but having looked at the manual the cable connection may well be accessible to check / fix by removing the hard drive. Another alternative would be to call service and ask them to do this for you.

Headset (wired) 3,5 mm audio and mic jacks; window...

I have heard from a supposedly reliable source (a radio shack salesman) that skype for windows 8 has problems using a wired headset (3.5mm jacks for audio and mic). I am using 64bit windows 8; a hp envy 700-074 (beats audio) computer with plenty of ram. Can someone comment on this. I hate to purchase a headset and not have it work and go thru the hassle of having to return it.

I really have no idea what problems he was referring to. Did he go into specifics? Some people hear more audio artifacts in Windows 8. As far as I can tell Radio shack people are salespeople first, technical second but maybe you got lucky.
A wired headset should work as good as your onboard if not in actuality better. So I don't know how it would sound worse unless you purchase some cheap detachable headset that sounds like you're talking into a paper/plastic cup. Many HPs use the IDT chipset which has never impressed me. The microphone/speaker selections can be very odd when compared to other chipset drivers. As long as you have the right selection and the latest audio drivers, you shouldn't run into any major issues. If you do run into audio issues, you can always get a 3.5mm to USB adapter for your headset or buy a USB headset to sidestep sound card related issues.

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

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.

basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
If that fails, then make an appointment at the genius bar.
