Yoga 13 - Headset jack with splitter adapter doesn't recognize microphone

Hi,
I'm trying to use my LifeChat LX 2000 headset with the Yoga 13's combi jack. The LX2000 has separate plugs for mic and headphone. I bought a standard adapter to convert this into the required combi jack, but only the headphones work. The mic is not recognized. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the conexant driver and replaced the adapter with a new one. No change. 
The headset works on other computers with split jacks. 
Any thoughts?
I know that there is the option of USB headsets, but since I already own the LX2000 and would prefer to not block another precious USB slot, I'd prefer using the available combi jack - as that's what the jack should be there for...
Thanks,
Jan

Thanks, XMB. This is very helpful information. Can't believe that even such a little item as a headset jack with three contacts has an universal industry standard...
I'll see if I can find an adapter that's wired for Apple standards, although it surprises me that Lenovo would choose the Apple method if most other PC's use another standard.
So can you confirm that the wiring diagram in below link is correct for the Apple vs Nokia wiring?

Is there any documentation in the Yoga technical specs that allows to identify which wiring is used in the machine? I know you mentioned it uses the Apple standard, but it would be nice to know that this is mentioned in some documentation officially.
Thanks

  • Using the headset jack with my accessory jack in car.

    I have a question about using the headset jack in my car. When the iphone is plugged into my radio, how are phone calls received. Does the audio come through the car speakers or do you use the phone like you would with out it hooked up to the car.
    Thanks in advance.

    The audio does not come out through the headphone jack to your car speakers. Phone call audio uses the built-in speaker and microphone, or a Bluetooth headset if one is paired. I have noticed that if I connect the aux patch cable +while a call is in progress+, audio is sent out to the car stereo.

  • Captivate 4 doesn't recognize microphone

    I just installed Captivate 4 and imported a couple of Cap3 projects.  Everything works fine except the audio - it doesn't recognize that the microphone is working.  Captivate 3 and other applications have no problems.
    I downloaded and installed the update, but it didn't help.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Hi Marion,
    There are some known issues with certain mics. You may want to read this blog entry:

  • Macbook Pro using Thunderbolt   DisplayPort adapter doesn't recognize monitor.

    So I've got a curious situation here. We ordered 3 new 13" MacBook Pros Retina (2013 model) and we were testing a cable hookup with a co-workers 13" MacBook Pro Retina (2012) but it doesn't seem to recognize the Monitor as being connected.
    The setup is as follows.
    MacBook Pro --> Thunderbolt Cable (plugged into thunderbolt I/O) --> Mini DisplayPort to Displayport adapter (Link) --> Dell Monitor w/ Full sized DisplayPort Input.
    But when we try pluggin in a mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable (like this: Link) it recognized just fine and works as expected. The obvious answer is just to get the cable that works. But sadly, we've already ordered the Thunderbolt cables and adapters....
    Is there something I'm missing or am I stuck having to tell my boss we need to buy even more cables?
    Thank you.

    Sorry for the typos in my post. The printer is a HP Photosmart 5520; the router is D-link 3780, the computer is a macbook pro running OS 10.10.1

  • IMac with airport extreme doesn't recognize wireless airport express

    I have an Airport Extreme that is functioning and want to extend my network via WIFi with an new airport express. The express is just accross the wall from the extreme but my iMac does not recognize it. I need all the help I can get on this one.

    Start by placing the new AirPort Express in the same room as the Extreme and your iMac. Your iMac should now "see" the new Express on the dropdown menu of the AirPort icon on the OS X menu bar. Select the Express and the AirPort Utility should start up to allow you to configure the Express.

  • IMac doesn't recognize HP 4635 Scanner

    The Scan program that comes with the 4635 doesn't recognize the scanner. I can scan using Photoshop or Image Capture. The printer works fine.

    Hello , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! I see you're having problems scanning.  I would like to help! I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software. Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature. I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the printer: HP Officejet 4630 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • IMovie doesn't recognize camera when external hd is connected

    I can't import a movie from my camera into iMovie6 when a external hd is connected.That is,a 400gb LaCie tripple interface or a freecom classic sl hard drive400gb.
    When a LaCie Mini 80gb is connected there is no problem.
    When one of the above is connected with firewire iM doesn't recognize the camera at all.
    When connected with usb2 it does see the camera,but only imports for about two seconds and that quits.
    Any suggestions?
    Jacqo

    Thanks Karsten.
    Yes, my camera is a Canon,but not one of the models mentioned in that tech note.
    I've solved it now.
    Reading your reply gave me a bright idea.
    If that is true why can I import with the smaller LaCie hd connected?
    Look at the type of firewire cable Jacqo.
    Yes,that is a different type of cable;connected the 400g with the cable that came with the 80g hd and eureka,it works.
    So it was just a matter of the right type of firewire cable.
    Why didn't I think of that earlier.
    Again ,Thanks Karsten.

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.

    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

    I have an 11" MacBook Air.  When I plug in my VGA adapter to my Thunderbolt port, the computer doesn't recognize it ... unless I reboot the computer.  Is there another way to get the computer to recognize the adapter?  (It works with my MacBook Pro)

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • HP Envy Headset jack compatibility with stereo headphones equipped with 3 ring plug

    Hello.
    As you know, new HP Envy laptops are equipped with just single audio jack (TRRS type). In "Maintenance and Service Guide" this one is mentioned as "Audio-in (mono microphone)/audio out (stereo headphone) combo jack".
    So if I connect my stereo headphones that are equipped with 3-pin plug (TRS type) directly to this Combo Headset jack will these get recognized by system as stereo headphones (not as headset)? Can stereo headphones with 3-pin plug cause any damage to laptop hardware if connected?
    What is confusing me is that in User Guide one can read following Note:
    "Be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and audio-in (microphone)".

    Hi Misuser8,
    The manual does support a 4-conductor connector. After some research I have read that the 3 will work with no complications.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • IPhone 4S doesn't work with car adapter

    My wife and I upgraded our 3GS phones to 4S.  We have an aftermarket iPhone adapter in our car, I don't recall the brand, but it worked fine with our Toyota Camry sound system.  We could charge our phones and play music using the factory stock CD transport controls with the adapter.  When we plugged in the 3GS phones, we would get a message "This accessory is not optimized for iPhone..." but once the message was dismissed it worked fine, even with iOS5.  Howwever, my 4S phone does not work with the adapter.  When I plug it in it charges, but I don't get the error message and the music function does not work at all.  Strangely, my wife's 4S works fine.  The only difference is that hers is 16 GB and mine is 32 GB.  I tried removing apps and hard re-starting, to no avail.  Is it possible that the hardware connector on my phone is defective and the contacts for music playback aren't functional?  Any other suggestions?

    To update my original post, I discovered that my 4S does work with my JVC car radio when I use the Apple USB cable that I use to sync with my PC. This happens to be the cable that came with my 3GS, but it works fine to sync the 4S. I don't know whether the short non-Apple cable I had in the car is broken, or whether something about the iPhone has changed to make it obsolete. In any case, I'm back in business!
