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'.

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.

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.

Bluetooth headphone with MIC

I'm considering to purchase a Bluetooth headphone with MIC for my iPad mini. If I connect, will the headphone MIC take over the iPad's builtin microphone?

mainly true and most likely yeah! The sound will come through the headsets but the microphone will not be able to function at all.... The bluetooth on the iPod touch is very limited to what function it can perform, like Meg St. Clair mentioned is for stereo Headphone; wireless speakers and games. Things like headsets or anything(like microphones)that might be used as with Bluetooth is not supported. The only way you can get a microphone to work is if it's plugged in on the headphone Jack at the bottom of the iPod touch. Sorry that you had to hear that, you were probably hoping that you could use the Bluetooth with that microphone.....

Sound Blaster Z - how set autodetect connected headphones (into front panel connector)

Hello,
how can I set autodetect connected headphones into front panel on my new Sound Blaster Z?
I have used to use my onboard soundcard (only to my headphones) together with AMD R290X soundcard (via HDMI to Onkyo receiver).
Onboard soundcard was set as default audio device in Windows. So If I connected my headphones into front pannel connector, play only my headphones. If I disconnect headphones, onboard soundcard was disabled and soundcard on R290X was now only active audio device, so music playing only from my speaker (receiver Onky via HDMI on AMD R290X).
Now if I connect my headphones, I have to manualy switch audio device unit in Windows control panel between "SoundBlasterZ" and "R290X HDMI".
It is very annoying. Is there any way to figure it out?
Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand my problem.
Thank you!

Hi prachart,
You will need to set Sound Blaster Z as the default playback audio device in the window control panel -> sound -> playback. Make sure you connect the physical connector from the front panel to the Sound Blaster Z card. This will let you plug into the headphone and able to playback. However, the AMD R290X HDMI port will not be able to have any sound as the default playback device set to Sound Blaster Z and it will not automatically release control and toggle to the available plug-in device.
You will need to go to control panel to toggle again if you want to have the sound from the HDMI port.
I am sorry if the above are not much help but this is the design implementation of the sound card so that there is no compromise in the sound quality.

How to connect a shotgun mic to my Macbook pro?

I recently purchased the "Audio-Technica ATR-6550 Video Camera Condenser Shotgun Microphone"
(http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR-6550-Condenser-Shotgun-Microphone/dp/B0 02GYPS3M). I need this mic to record audio into Adobe Premiere on my Macbook pro (or on voice memos on my iphone). I'm pretty sure it's a mono mic. However, even with an audio to stereo adapter, none of my apple products recognize that I have connected an external mic. What am I missing? Are their other adapters I should buy (preferably from Amazon)

Hmmm....it should. If it doesn't even show up in System Preferences, no application will see it. Do you have any other devices that you can test the microphone with, for example do you have a video camera you can plug it into and does it work there?

Can anyone help me connect my Macbook Air to a SAMSUNG TV. When I follow the basic instructions (Thunderbolt to HDMI connection) the screen on my computer goes grey and an error message appears inviting me to press any button to restart the Macbook. When I do this nothing happens. Only when I disconnect the computer from the TV does the Macbook allow me to login. The TV does not receive any signal from the Macbook even though I know the HDI port works fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to enable something on the Macbook?

An update...
I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic. Now what do It do?

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic.
In case you don't see why this could be a big deal, let me remind you that these little earphones will run you $79 new. Naturally, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable solution that another owner of these headphones may know of or can share with me.
Should I bring it to the Apple store or will they just laugh at me?
Basically, all I'm missing is the jelly-like in-ear bud on one side (which is easily replaceable; I just need to know where I can order GENUINE extras from).
Click here to see the Apple In-ear Headphones I'm referring to.

I've tried several and the best by far is the Sennheiser MM50 iP ($99 at the apple store). The sound is incredible, particularly the low frequecy response (bass). These are even better than the Bose Triports I used for my iPod, plus they have the mic and button for recieving calls and ipod playback. I also have the airdrives, which don't even compare for sound quality and range because they aren't in-ear (they sit directly in front of the ear canal). I still use the airdrives in situations where I want music distraction but still want to hear what's happening around me, but for in-ear sound quality and iPhone functionality I don't think you're going to find better for the Sennheisers for under $100. In fact I don't think their is anything under $250 right now that would match it for performance, comfort and functionality.
Note: these are asymmetrical which means the cord for the right earbud goes behind your neck to the right ear. I found this strange at first but now I actually like it because it allows you to pull the earlplugs out and just let them rest over your neck/shoulders.

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.

Bluetooth does not work correctly with Siemens Tek Connect headphone device

I hopefully tried the new bluetooth support in OS 3.0, but it does not work with my Siemens Tek Connect headphone device. It syncs as expected, but no sound is heard. I can choose the Tek Connect in the music app and other programs, my headphone (actually my two hearing aids, which are connected wireless with ear to ear communications (e2e) via the Tek Connect necklace device) signals the connection to me (a beep), but nothing is heard. Codec problem?
Andreas

I own Phonak hearing aids with their Bluetooth-capable iCom device which allows my aids to be used as a phone headset and also supports the A2DP stereo bluetooth profile. My iPod Touch 2Gen 32GB is able to play to my hearing aids properly.
One thing I noticed is that the iPod does not allow you to control the volume when using Bluetooth. It expects the headphones to be able to control the volume. Have you used your hearing aids as Bluetooth headphones on any other device? Maybe the device isn't programmed properly to set the volume while in headphones mode. I know my audiologist had to program the volume on each mode separately on my device.
My MacBook Pro is able to play music over Bluetooth to my hearing aids fine. But I have never gotten Windows to work properly sending audio to my hearing aids. Do you have a Mac with Bluetooth? Try to get that working to see if it's your hearing aid device that's causing the trouble or not.

Cleaning Lint/Dust/Dirt From the Docking Port, Headphone Jack, Mic & Spkr

Does anyone know if you spray canned air (Dust Off) into the docking port, headphone jack, mic & speaker ports, if the air will blow the lint/dust/dirt deep into the phone or possibly under the screen where you can't get it back out?

i just use a toothpick and dig it out. the dock port and headphone jack are fairly closed off so the chance of pushing the lint / gunk in deeper is pretty low. so far no issues
