u/lirakis · 7 pointsr/amateurradio

hey friend, i recently wrote a "how to" setup APRS with a HT, Direwolf, and YAAC on linux. copy paste is below ...

edit:

If audio is getting from the radio to direwolf, check the volume levels on the radio output, and check the mic gain on your computer. These are really the only two settings that will affect how direwolf can rx and decode. Direwolf logs out when it receives something, and it tells you on a scale of 0-100 the volume level. I try to shoot for 50-60 and I get very consistent decode.


Tutorial: APRS software user interface, with software based audio TNC, and RF gateway

Overview:

APRS is a tool that was designed to convey information about objects, telemetry, and reporting, as well as communicate between individuals and groups with direct, and group messaging. Many people have the experience, or mindset, that APRS is used primarily for location tracking. This is partially due to the limitations on many hardware implementations of APRS that vendors have provided. One way to learn more about APRS as a broader, and more powerful system is to utilize software to visualize, and interact with other stations, and objects. This short tutorial will discuss how to setup a software based user interface (UI) for APRS that will provide you with mapping, messaging, and object manipulation abilities, as well as how to connect that UI through a software based audio modem, or TNC, directly to a radio, so that other users within your immediate range, as well as the range of any digipeaters will be able to interact with the same local APRS data without any reliance on the internet, or internet gateways.

User interface:

There are several different user interfaces available that have been designed for APRS.

UI-View is a popular piece of software which is no longer being maintained as the original author has passed away.

YAAC is a successor/replacement to UI-View which is cross platform (Java) with a intuitive interface, and many capabilites. We will be using YAAC for this tutorial.

Xastir is primarily a Linux application built on the X windows library system. It is quite functional, but is less intuitive and is currently less activly developed than YAAC.


Audio Modem (TNC):

TNC's originally were AX.25 packet assembler/dissasemblers with the addition of a modem to convert baseband digital signals into audio tones. In the case of a software TNC, it has the same capabilites, encoding and decoding both the AX.25 layer, and data layer to and from audio so it can be transmitted or received from a radio.

Direwolf is the premier audio tnc, which is documented to run on Windows, OSX, Linux, and single board computer Linux environments such as Raspberry Pi BeagleBone Black etc.

RF Gateway:

The RF gateway is probably the simplest piece in the equation. You need only a radio that supports audio in, audio out, and VOX. There may be some complexity if you choose to make your own cables, however there are ready made cables for popular and inexpensive radios (Baofeng) which are available for under $20 from amazon, which feature isolation to protect both your computer, and your radio.

Here is a link to a high quality cable available on Amazon, which works for Boafeng radios: https://www.amazon.com/APRS-K2-Connector-BaoFeng-APRSDroid-Compatible/dp/B01LMIBAZW


Supplementary:

It can be very helpful to have a radio that is capable of broadcasting an APRS beacon to test your setup as you go.

Your laptop may have a single plug for both headphone and microphone (TRRS) or it may have two seperate plugs. If you have two seperate plugs, you will need a splitter to seperate the microphone, and headphone connections from the cable linked to in the above RF gateway section. The cable linked below will split the two should you need it.

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6/


System setup:

We are going to build the APRS system from the ground up, starting with Direwolf, the audio modem/tnc and the RF gateway. If you are a Linux user, there are packages for direwolf in ubuntu/debian as well as yum based systems:

sudo apt-get install direwolf or sudo yum install direwolf

For Windows and OSX go to https://github.com/wb2osz/direwolf and follow the instructions to download the latest release and run direwolf from a command window.

direwolf does not need any configuration for our initial setup, simply run direwolf, connect the audio and microphone jacks between the computer and your radio, and tune your radio to 144.390.

Be certain that you do not have any rx-CTCSS or DCS tones setup. Set your squelch as low as it will go, and enable vox with the lowest setting possible on your radio. Now is the time when it is handy to have a HT that is capable of beaconing APRS data. If you have one, set it to beacon and you should start see data coming in on the terminal where direwolf is running. You may need to adjust the volume on the output of your radio, the output of your computer, as well as the microphone gain on your computer to get everything decoding properly.

Once you can reliably decode becons from a local HT, or from a digipeater within range, you can move on to setting up the YAAC user interface, and connecting it to direwolf.


YAAC, the APRS user interface software we are using, is a Java program and requires that your system has the Java runtime environment installed. For Linux users, be certain that you install the full JRE, and not a "headless" JRE, as the headless versions do not come with the graphical libraries that YAAC requires to run. Also as of this writing YAAC did not work with Java 9, however I experienced no problems using the OpenJDK Java 8 JRE so be sure to check the version you are installing.

After you have the Java Runtime Environment installed, download the self upacking binary for your operating system from the YAAC website at http://www.ka2ddo.org/ka2ddo/YAAC.html#install

For linux users, the file was not set as an executable, so I had to chmod +x YAAC_linux_x86.bin before running ./YAAC_linux_x86.bin

NOTE: YAAC does not extract itself into a directory - so you likely want to create a directory first, then move the self extracting file into that directory so that you dont end up with a bunch of files all over.

After the package has extracted, simply run the YACC.jar program. You can do this from the command line with: java -jar YACC.jar

YACC will ask you if you want help configuring it, select yes and walk through the steps configuring your call sign, latitude/longitude etc. When you get to the part about adding and configuring interfaces, select the option to "Add AGWPE Port". YACC will create a new window with default information populated - you MUST add your callsign, and change the transmit dropdown from "disabled" to "enabled". Click finish, and on the next screen you can decide whether you want to beacon or not (I chose yes) along with any free form comment you want, then click finish.

That is it - you have a basic APRS software station set up that can transmit, and recieve via RF link. You should see objects start to appear on the YAAC map view, and the direwolf command line output should match up with data YAAC is displaying.

Homework:

From here you can learn how to create message groups, chat directly with stations, place objects on the map so that they are only visible to other local RF stations, or so that they propegate out through the internet via a digipeater I-Gate (if one is in range) so that they show up on the APRS-IS backbone (e.g. aprs.fi).

u/Piyh · 6 pointsr/GlobalOffensive

I bought a 4 pole to 3 pole splitter (they can be found on ebay for cheaper) for my earbuds that have a mic on them. My tower only has a dedicated mic and dedicated speaker jack, so this is the low cost solution.

Turns out the splitter flips the audio channels on my earbuds so I have to wear them backwards while gaming. Took me about 3 games to figure out why I was calling out every position wrong.

u/reddit_reaper · 6 pointsr/hackintosh

You need to 4 to 3 splitter. Then you can plug in the mic cable into the mic port and the speaker cable into the audio port. Here's a link StarTech MUYHSFMM 3.5mm 4 Pin to 2x3 Pin 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - F/M https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0058DOWH6/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_Y5BRub08HK731

u/eegras · 5 pointsr/pcmasterrace

The Antlion Modmic would fit this need really well.

Or are you looking for something like this?

u/desentizised · 4 pointsr/howto

Actually your first image shows an adapter you would need on airplanes where they have those weird double plugs (whoever came up with those must've had a bit too much of something, amirite?).

What OP probably needs is this. This thing enables you to turn a single plug headset into a dual-plug headset so you can plug in the headphone-jack and microphone-jack separately like you would on most computers.

The opposite would be this which would enable you to use a regular pc-headset with 2 plugs to plug it into your single headset jack on your smartphone or macbook etc.

u/NewPSP · 3 pointsr/headphones

That's a nice headset, your cousin is quite generous! To connect it to your computer, and be able to use both the microphone and headphone functions, you need a 4-pole TRRS to 2x 3-pole TRS splitter.

Something like this would function fine: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Audio-Video-Cables/StarTech-com-Position-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/B0058DOWH6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1483813992&sr=8-3&keywords=4+pole+splitter

For your Xbox One, you can plug it into your controller if it has a 3.5mm port. Otherwise, you'd need the Stereo Headset Adaptor.

u/areyougame · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

You'll need this splitter since most PC's don't have a combo port.

u/IceprincessOCN · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

My setup is quite simple

u/substitutemyown · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Guessing the headset only has a single jack? If so you'll need an adapter like this (4 pole to 2x3 pole) to split it into mic+headphones.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Position-Headset-Splitter-Adapter-Black/dp/B0058DOWH6

u/Emerald_Flame · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Should work with something like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6

That splits the single integrated 4 pole 3.5mm from the headphone/mic into 2 separate 3 pole 3.5mm. One for the headphones, the other for the mic. Then you just have to plug those two into their respective ports on the Mobo.

TRRS -----> Tip (Left Channel), Ring (Right Channel), Ring (Common/Ground), Sleeve (Microphone +)

Yes, you can buy an extension, but unless your computer input panel is 4-pin capable then you will still have the same problem

Heres an extention: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-MUHSMF2M-Position-Headset-Extension/dp/B008DWGLLO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406307141&sr=8-2&keywords=StarTech.com+3.5mm+4+Position+TRRS

and here's what I think you need. This will split the signal into two outputs: one for headphones, one for audio. just plug one into the headphone jack on the computer and one into the microphone jack.You may need to switch them around the first time you try them because this one isn't labeled.

u/danny29812 · 2 pointsr/xboxone

Are you using one of these?

Remember on the new controller adapter, there are 4 connection areas on the pin. Two for chat and two sound.

u/-majormexx- · 2 pointsr/Twitch

Stricly console you say? Imgur

In all honesty though I don't know if the amps always supported connection by PC (I have the Pro). They work fine with my rig on Windows 8.1. The amp even uses a driver that boosts the audio a little, creating virtual channels to widen the available tones and enhancing the original stereo signal.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! You can even get a PC adapter as a back-up, in case the amp fails (which mine did, but only because it decided to leap to its death as I got up from the chair, forgetting I had the A40's on. Tragic, I know.) It was pretty cheap too, only a couple bucks on [Amazon] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DOWH6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1): Imgur

They're comfy around the padding, but my over-sized noggin came complete with a pair of dumbo ears. They can get annoying after having to adjust them too many times.

Edit: words.

u/ressis74 · 2 pointsr/headphones

This should do it

The reason the reviews aren't very reassuring is because Android and Apple style plugs are wired differently. You have an Apple style headphone, and the above splitter has a review with a good review from someone using EarPods.

u/logicmuffin · 2 pointsr/xboxone

I'm guessing your splitter or motherboard isn't working then. You can test your motherboard by plugging in a different microphone. The splitter needs to be arranged in CTIA in order to split correctly. Here's the splitter I use http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DOWH6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/pumpkinbundtcake · 2 pointsr/headphones

My first recommendation would be to get a desktop microphone instead. Then you're not tied to one listening experience at your computer when you need to chat with somebody. If that's not an option, you could take the unnecessarily complicated route that I took and get one of these to use any pair of IEMs with an in-line microphone. Personally, I use my Shure SE215s with the UE900 replacement cable at the computer and my LG Tone+s at work where there's a risk of snags/damage.

u/PanchoBarrancas · 2 pointsr/headphones

I see. Well, I haven't found an inline volume control for TRRS jacks. If you are willing to through the hassle the way to do it would be ditching the usb card that came with your headphones and use a splitter so you can plug them straight to your computer, and the using an inline voulme control with the audio plug for that purpose.

u/UnDeaD_AmP · 2 pointsr/hackintosh

No problem :D Here is the one i used. You could try your luck and order this exact one but can't guarantee you'll get it working due to mine being a very crappy unit and awfully late. D;

It works flawlessly! Sound comes through and voice input works as well. Obviously the volume controls on the headset don't work, but most keyboards have onboard volume control.

Edit: put up right link :) hope this helps

u/Non-Combatant · 2 pointsr/pcgaming

Here is one, as for best idk... it's just a cable.

u/rehpotsirhc123 · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

You'll need a 4 position to dual 3.5mm adapter most likely, if it was marketed as being for multiple consoles and PC then it may have even come with one.

u/divinemuffdiver77 · 2 pointsr/Twitch

That was my problem too in the beginning. This may get a little long, but I can definitely help you out.

Elgato has page to help with this issue

I use the original Elgato HD and at first I had a headset with a USB and 3.5mm headphone jack, so I had to make a little jerry rig setup with a splitter and an audio Y cable

But if you are willing to spend some money, I highly recommend getting this headset
Its what I am using now because I can talk to my teammates in game, hear my tv audio, and listen to music or donation goals on my PC since it has a multi media source input.

I hope this helps.

u/A_Water_Fountain · 2 pointsr/techsupport

So you have a headset/earbuds with in-line mics, but you have two separate ports for audio in/out on your computer.

You will need a small adapter to split the mic portion and audio out portion into two separate jacks. You will need something like this.

u/V1RU5-13 · 2 pointsr/headphones

If you look closely at the plug you'll notice there are 4 separate metal contacts (TRRS) instead of 3 (TRS) see this image

That extra contact is for the microphone, smartphones can utilize this as standard, letting you make hands-free calls, but will need an adapter cable to work on separate headphone and mic jacks on a PC (like this)

As for the xbox, depending on which you have there adapters for those too, this for xbox one controllers and a combo of this and this for an xbox 360 controller

As for whether you'd be better off with separate headphone and mic, absolutely, of course you would be, I can't imagine polaroid branded headphones sounding any good at all, yes they are indeed usable for all your intended applications with the adapters I linked but sound quality will be poor, especially mic quality from the tiny thing built into the cable. If that bothers you in any way, then head over to the sticky thread for advice on what to get instead, otherwise those adapters should work fine, even if they come in at just as much, if not more than the headphones cost themselves.

u/killzone4000 · 2 pointsr/razer

you'll need a splitter cable to split the 1 plug into both a mic and audio plug, then you'd just plug that into your PC for the microphone and headset jacks

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6

u/cooperd9 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Almost no custom pc components have combined 4 pole headphone+Mic jacks, they use the 3 pole jacks that can only handle one of those signals. You will need to get a 4 pole to dual 3 pole splitter (should be less than $5) to use headphone and Mic features simultaneously.

Edit: here is one on Amazon, is a bit pricy though.

u/NorthAntrim · 2 pointsr/techsupport

Whoops!

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything you can do about the mic. For the mic to go over the line in wire, you would need a 3.5mm axillary jack with 4 segments (TRRS) rather than 3. Then you'd need one of these to split the mic and audio at your computer.

The only thing is, I doubt it would send the mic signal along the line in input. You could try it, if you can find a TRRS auxiliary cable, but I've never seen one myself.

u/hl3official · 2 pointsr/techsupport

You probably use a 3pin splitter, but the apple headset uses 4 pin.
The one you need is something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6

You can semi "fix" this by kinda putting the cables in 3/4 of the way into the adapter.

u/MustardCat · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Yeah, they make splitters.

http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6

Is there a reason you don't want to use the included USB DAC? Not enough USB ports?

u/skippy_tha_kangaroo · 2 pointsr/computer_help

This is actually a Windows limitation, I've done HOURS of research. It seems you have to get a splitter for your earbuds so they plug into both the mic and speaker port.

When I say splitter, I mean something like this https://www.amazon.ca/Startech-MUYHSFmm-Headset-Splitter-Adapter-F/dp/B0058DOWH6/186-4082773-6026466

You're right, I should've read it a bit better. I had one coming up in a link but got impatient - this should do the job.

u/illuxion · 2 pointsr/CarAV

I opened the laptop and looked. here's where to open the mic cal file in TrueRTA. The system calibration is just putting a loopback cable from input to output on the sound card so it can try to make a flat response. You can download it from here, plug in the mic, then hit go and start playing. The only thing with the IMM6 is that it has the headphone passthrough, some computer mic inputs will get confused and you'd need something like this which is what I use on my laptop. With the free version you only get 1 octave RTA(fat blocks instead of the thin lines like I have) but it's still more resolution than your EQ so it will help. My EQ is 31 bands on every channel, including sub, so I drunkenly purchased the level 3 TrueRTA.

u/kind_of_a_god · 2 pointsr/techsupport

Your headphones have an in-line microphone that is meant for mobile devices. The audio jack on your headset is a headphone/mic combo. If you try it on your phone, the audio and microphone should both work.

Unfortunately, your PC will need a headphone/microphone combo port to get audio and be able to use the microphone at the same time. Many newer laptops including mine have this port, but desktop PCs do not.

You will have to purchase an audio microphone splitter like this one for your headphones to work completely with your PC.

u/jtaylor991 · 1 pointr/headphones

I'm gonna go with this guy. Also, there's two different standards of the 3-band connector (CTIA and OMTP), so if you need to convert from CTIA to OMTP (the standard the StarTech uses according to a comment on a review from a support rep), then this is what you need. (The bad reviews on it seem to be from people using it with devices with proprietary standards that aren't within this product's realm, like game controllers, and apparently the OnePlus One smartphone)

Edit: Thanks a million for the idea to look for an adapter like that! Looks to be perfect for my needs.

u/Clessiah · 1 pointr/steelseries

It's a desktop. It should have separated ports.

You need something like this.

u/DuoThree · 1 pointr/tabletopsimulator

Your computer most likely has a separate headphone input and microphone input, but Apple's headset's jack is a combo jack that has both headphone+microphone on one jack. So you'd need a splitter like this that will split your combo jack into separate headphone and microphone jacks, and plug the microphone one into your computer's microphone input and the headphone jack into your computer's headphone input.

Hello guys, First of all, idk if this is the right place to post this but i am going to try and hope you guys can help me becuase the guys at r/buildapc couldn't help. Here is my original post at r/buildapc https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/4b8mgm/recording_audio_not_working/ . This post has my pc build and the statement of my problem.
Restatement of the problem from my other post: I built my pc last summer so it has probably been a good 10 months since i had it. After a few months of gaming, i finally play a game with my friend and then just noticed that the recording audio doesn't work. Not on skype or any other platform. I tried a whole bunch of stuff to try to fix it like going through the audio settings in windows 10 and reinstalling the realtek drivers. I even bought a headset splitter to see if that was the problem. This is the headset splitter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DOWH6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 . All the wiring in my motherboard seem right so idk what could be the problem. Any ideas guys?
If you guys can help that will be great. If not can you guys recommend me a cheap DAC or soundcard to buy becuase i got pretty cheap headphones so i dont need anything significant. Headphones: meelectronics air-fi af32. I would rather get an internal soundcard so i can just leave it in the case and not worry about it but i would still like to use the front speaker jack on my case, would the soundcard let me do that or would i have to use the speaker jack on the card. Any info would help. Thank you so much.

u/DriedT · 1 pointr/hometheater

I did some reading and found everything I need to know and what anyone else will need if they decide to buy this mic. TRRS stands for Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve and pinouts tend to be listed in that order.

So Apple's standard, which this mic should share is:

  • T Left

  • R Right

  • R Ground

  • S Mic

    It looks like the computer mic jack standard is:

  • T Mic

  • R +5V

  • S Ground

    I found this adapter which should work as long as the the top comment's pinout is correct. I'm just going to harvest the 3.5mm plug/cord from a microphone I bought for an arduino project and solder the wire directly to the plug on the microphone because I never plan to use it with a phone.

Your apple earbuds are designed to work with a combined headphone/mic jack, rather than a standalone mic port. To use the mic, you will want to get something like this.

You need an audio splitter. I'm assuming you're plugging your headset into your headset jack, but most computers are designed to take input from you, and output audio to you. Not both at the same time. Heres the link vvvvv

You just need an adapter like this to get it to work. PCs have one port for headphones and one port for mic. The apple headphones have them combined into one jack.

Sidenote: Some reviews say that adapter does work with Apple earbuds and some say it doesn't. Not sure what version of earbuds you have or if Apple switched up the order of their connection at one point on them.

I believe you're supposed to use one of these to split the audio and microphone lines to your PC. They look like this:

With one of these

/u/jhaun's link is color coded to identify mic and sound easier

u/Egleu · 1 pointr/xboxone

So, the green cable is purely audio and the pink cable is the mic. So the simplest fix for you I think would be to get a 3.5mm headset splitter.

http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6

For example

u/Goosebeans · 1 pointr/xboxone

Pretty much. I'm using the HyperX Cloud II, so I had to take the 4-pole male and have it split to two 3.5mm male to separate the mic and sound using a headset to PC adapter. I'm using something like this.

Here's a wiring diagram with a Modmic.

To get the chat to work appropriately, you need to smash the party button on the chat adapter until it's 100% party (it beeps).

Here's a link to another thread on the subject if it helps for point of reference.

*Edit: If X1 supported generic USB audio like the PS4, this is what the wiring diagram would look like. So much cleaner and no cables anchoring the wireless controller.

u/MrMaple24 · 1 pointr/PS4

I'm confused on if you're talking about this one or this one.

u/Cherry_Switch · 1 pointr/techsupport

I think you need an adapter like this, but your post is confusing and I don't know exactly what you are trying to say (or ask, if it is a question?).

Also, it may or may not work depending on what kind of headset you are using with this adapter, CTIA or OMTP or Apple.

u/cwisgween · 1 pointr/xboxone

Any luck with this at all? Im in the same boat. I do know you get a 3.5mm spliter with a female end that will put out into a mic and headset cable, would this maybe work if attached from the headset?

EDIT- one of these. this might well be the solution im hoping!

unplug the 3,5mm from the USB dongle, get a TRRS splitter cable and use it directly connected to the motherboard. The USB dongle isn't great anyway.

u/Cystern · 1 pointr/Windows10

That's probably your problem. I don't think Windows recognizes 4 pin headsets. You'd need to get a splitter that can split it into a Microphone In and a Headphone out, such as this. I would imagine that it worked in Bootcamp because your Mac can use 4 pins as both headsets and microphones and it was just forwarding this to Bootcamp.

u/4wh457 · 1 pointr/GlobalOffensive

If they have a 4-pole 3.5mm connector you will probably need an adapter like this

u/HyperX-Felinni · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

When using a 4-pole headset splitter to separate the audio and mic channels you have to make sure the cable is designed to work that way. Not all splitters are alike. Check out the Startech MUYHSFMM

There are aftermarket mix amps that are compatible with our Cloud II 4-pole jack. We've actually tested some. Mix Amp TR Pro.

u/SumoSizeIt · 1 pointr/techsupport

I guess it's a common issue for creative sound cards to combine some channels on 4 pin audio cables. Despite this, I've yet to find a 3-to-4 cable anywhere online. I may try a couple of mic/headphone splitters and see what happens. Thanks for your help.

u/Ash6121 · 1 pointr/computerhelp

Is it just a single 3.5mm jack? if so most desktops don't have the 4 ring 3.5mm jack found in an Iphone or laptop allowing to use a mic and headphones with just jack. You will need to buy a splitter that turns it into a headphone jack and a mic and then plug those into their respective jack. They are on amazon for around 10$.

Yes, but you need one of these, unless what you're using it for has 4 pole 3.5mm support.

u/Aquifel · 1 pointr/techsupport

Your headset doesn't work on computers, for the most part. Your computer has one microphone jack and one audio out jack but, your headset only has 1 jack, it can't plug into both jacks at once. There are computers with combined audio/mic jacks but, it doesn't look like yours is one of them, cell phones on the other hand almost always used a combined jack (So, it works fine on your cellphone).

There are adapters out there to convert it. This might work: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6/

It's about the same price to just buy the two-jack version of the headset you have now: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-981-000459-Stereo-Headset-H110/dp/B003H4QPJQ

u/Zero0400 · 1 pointr/buildapc

u/Caanon565 · 1 pointr/buildapc

You need a splitter/adapter to split it into separate mic and headphone plugs.

For example, I think this should work: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1478480134&sr=8-7&keywords=4+pole+mic+headphone+splitter

I spent 10 seconds finding that, but you can do your own research on what specific item to buy.

u/HeroOfTime14 · 1 pointr/xboxone

Like /u/EGHeart saidm, It doesn't work like that. You would need a 3.5mm female to two 3.5mm males for it to work. Plug the headset into the female part of the adapter and then one male end into the controller adapter and the other male end into your phone. That should work.

This might work. Not 100%. But this is the kind of cable I speak of.
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-MUYHSFMM-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1421027550&sr=8-2&keywords=3.5mm+female+to+male+splitter

u/Jeff_da_Shark · 1 pointr/headphones

The Steelseries Flux In-Ear uses a 4-poll 3.5mm connector to transfer mic two audio channels and ground
(from root to tip; mic -> audio chanel -> audiochannel -> ground)
all in one connector to ensure compatibility with mobile devices which commonly use this type of connector.

The audio connectors on your pc are female 3-poll 3.5mm connectors.
(audio channel -> audio channel -> ground)

The male 4-poll 3.5mm connector will fit in the female 3-poll 3.5mm connector the but the the mic will not be supported.

I do not know what this steelseries audio adaptor is but for the mic in your headset to be supported by your pc you need a 3.5mm 4-Poll to 2x3 -Poll 3.5mm connector splitter cable like this, this separates the mic channel in the 4-poll connector into another 3-poll connector.

Edit: looked up the steelseries audio adaptor, this is the opposite of what you want it combines two 3-poll 3.5mm connectors into one 4-poll 3.5mm connector.

u/ChaoticxSerenity · 1 pointr/techsupport

Wait, are you plugging a 2 in 1 type headset (ones with an in-line mic) into the audio jack? Cause that won't work; you need to buy a splitter

u/AllMyName · 1 pointr/techsupport

Seconding this solution.

If your laptop has 2 separate headphone/mic jacks instead of the combined 4-pole type jack, this cable will let you use a 4-pole headset with 2 separate jacks.

u/fluvance · 1 pointr/techsupport

If your splitter is like this where it has a 4-pin female, then it should work fine. Otherwise, if your splitter only has a regular 3-pin female, it won't work.

One thing to note is that some headsets are wired so you have to hold a button to use the microphone, which may not work with a a splitter.

u/Chrono32123 · 1 pointr/xboxone

I'm guessing since you have a mic port you would need the signal separated.
I was considering one of these:
EZOPower Headset Adapter

StarTech Adapter

Smartphone Headset to PC adapter

I haven't made the dive yet BUT I did buy the opposite cable (headphone & mic to one plug) from StarTech to use with the stereo adapter and an old headset before getting the Xbox One Stereo Headset.

EDIT: I accidentally a word.
EDIT 2: After re-reading your post I realize now that you may actually have the one port for heaphone out and mic in. If that's the case then the mic should work....Curse my reading skills!!!!

u/SirEDCaLot · 1 pointr/needadvice

> mic goes to channel 1 speaker goes to phones. The speaker goes to phones is what is throwing me off, should it not be the headphones (a40) that goes into phones through the TRRS adapter you suggested?

Yes that's exactly what I mean. The TRRS adapter would be something like this one. The headset goes in the base of the 'Y', and that splits the headset out to two 3.5mm ports- one is 'mic' (which connects the headset microphone to channel 1), the other is 'speaker' which connects the headset speakers to the Phones output. You'll want some 3.5mm to 1/4" phono adapters to plug into the board's 1/4" connectors.

Consoles are a whole separate issue. I can't speak for PS4 as I only have an Xbox.

What you'll need to do is use the 3.5mm TRRS headset port on the bottom of your controller. If you have an older controller without that port, MS makes a plug-in adapter which gives you the 3.5mm port. You plug into that a TRRS Splitter (note this is similar to what you used for the headset, but the genders are reversed- the base of the 'Y' is male, and it goes into the device).
From there, we just reuse the connectors that go to the computer. The cable that connects the computer's speaker out to ch5/6 gets reused to plug into the Xbox TRRS adapter speaker out, and the cable that connects the board's aux send to the computer's mic input port goes to the Xbox TRRS mic port. If you want to keep both wired up you can, but you'll need a splitter for the Aux Send cable and another 3.5mm to dual mono 1/4 cable, this one will plug the Xbox's speaker out into Ch4/5 on the mixer.

BTW if you need a stereo 3.5mm to dual 1/4" mono cable, here's one. The white one is left, red one is right channel.

If you want to plug in Xbox, AND PS4, AND PC at the same time without swapping cables you will need a bigger mixer. I suggest check with me before you order one.

-----

You say the sound playing on the phones is 'off', do you mean it sounds bad or it doesn't play? I'm guessing maybe your TRRS adapter has the wrong genders on it and thus you aren't splitting things right...

You could also dump the A40s and go with a headset that has dual stereo minijacks natively like this one for $15. If you got that, you'd just get two 3.5mm to 1/4" phono adapters, use them to plug the green (speaker) plug into the Phones port and the red (mic) plug into Channel 1.

u/AtomKanister · 1 pointr/techsupport

Does the laptop have a separate mic input and the earbuds have a integrated mic (pretty much all phone earphones have)?

In this case, you need an adapter like this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Position-Headset-Splitter-Adapter/dp/B0058DOWH6

Something like this. Look specifically for "headset splitter" or "audio mic splitter".

u/I3igAl · 1 pointr/headphones

Two options for you, I recommend both to many people and use the extender cable myself:
 
When you say "Mic Cable" I am assuming you mean a 4 pole 3.5mm audio cable with a built in mic, either inline such as a cell phone earbud cable or a boom mic like the VMODA BoomPro. I use the BoomPro at my home desk, and have this cable:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RXNUXGS
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DOWH6
Run the cable from back of computer onboard audio, up the back of you desk, and route it through the cable management area of your monitor. you now have a dual jack right under your screen to put your headset on whenever you need to call and cant use the FiiO

Alternatively, leave your headphone as is, forget the mic cable, and get a USB mic. alot of people recommend the Blue Snowball and it is a great mic but also rather large for a usual office desk. I rather like the Blue Snowflake, its almost as good sound quality, perfectly adequate for conference calls and other non recording production needs, and much much smaller:

What you're looking for is a simple 3.5mm audio switch

I cannot seem to find them online for under $30, but they are extremely simple to make if you can solder.

Or use a Male to 2 Female 3.5mm splitter

You'd need a splitter, cause cases typically have 3 pole jacks, but phones, some laptops, and earbuds for phones use 4 poles to save space.

u/tetchip · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Does the headset use a single 4-pole 3.5mm connection for both microphone and audio signals (see image: http://www.nx7u.net/images/a_qna.jpg)? If yes, you will need a splitter since most audio interfaces transmit audio and microphone signals separately via 3-pole connections. 4-pole is mostly used on devices with space constraints like phones.

You can use something like this splitter if that is the case:

I have the Sennheiser GAME ONE headset, MSI Z170A Gaming M5 motherboard, and NZXT S340 case. The top of the case and motherboard has two jacks for headphones and microphones, but no headset jack. My old laptop had a headset jack and the audio and microphone worked fine with that.

Here's my adapter.

I plugged my headset into the adapter and plugged the microphone and headphone cables into their respective jacks, and neither microphone or audio will work with the adapter. I got an adapter from Radioshack last week, and I had the same issue, except I had very poor audio quality and I have no audio at all with this adapter, so I know it isn't the adapter. I tried using the adapter with my motherboard's jacks instead and I still have no luck.

I had my headset's cable plugged into the headphone jack with no issues, but I couldn't plug it into the microphone jack and only use the microphone. I have no idea why this isn't working, since it worked fine on my laptop. The computer detects a device being plugged into the microphone jack, but it simply won't work.

u/Captchronik17 · 1 pointr/xboxone

Plug your XO Seven's into your AX720 cable to get surround and comfort. I don't know what the xo cable looks like but if it's a single plug you might need one of these to get the mic to work.

u/haahaahaa · 1 pointr/gadgets

I don't think there is an elegant solution out there for you, but you might be able to make your own work around. First you need to take that jack and split the mic and headphone apart with one of these. Then you need some sort of audio switch box for each channel. You could use 2 of these.

In theory it would work. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You'd need a jack separator so you can use the microphone embedded on the earbud. Something like this. Afterwards, you could go to your recording devices under sound options and select "Listen to this device" under your default recording device's properties and you should be able to hear yourself assuming your equipment works.

If you just plug it in the bands that carry the audio signal don't line up properly. And ya it definitely benefits from an amp. I am amping it from my soloist right now and I think it sounds pretty noticeably better than out of my ipod.

Sorry.. I'm sure it's really basic and easy to understand if I saw it, but I can't understand it from the pic on amazon. It looks like a large headphone jack splitting into 2x 3.5mm plugs. But the Elite controller has only one 3.5mm headset jack.

u/nosamplesplease · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Couple things: do you have the correct kind of splitter?

A headphone splitter like the kind that lets you use 2 sets of headphones with one audio source will not work. You need a 4-pole to 2x3pole headset adapter. Like this one.

You can still use chat with the DSS2. It just involves some adapters.

  1. If you're using a headset that just has one 3.5mm trrs plug, you need a splitter to split that to a male 3.5mm Headphone and a male 3.5mm mic jack.

  2. You then need a male 3.5mm TRRS splitter to two female 3.5mm jacks, one is a female headphone jack, the other is a female mic jack. (This has to specifically be a pc headset adapter cable that specifically splits the mic and headphone not just one that allows two people to listen to one plug)

  3. Connect the female mic/headphone adapter to the chat adapter of your controller (or directly into your controller if it has the 3.5mm port)

  4. Plug your headphone jack of your headset into the DSS2 headphone port. Plug the mic into the mic splitter connected to the controller. Run a 3.5mm aux cord from the headphone splitter from the controller to the back of the DSS2 into the aux port.

  5. Turn your chat balance on the controller (or in the guide if your controller has the 3.5mm jack built in) all the way to chat and adjust the volume appropriately.

    You are getting surround sound directly from the DSS2 fed into your headset The mic is going to the controller so people can hear you, only the chat is coming from the controller and being fed into the aux port in the back of the DSS2, allowing you to hear chat and it is laid over your surround sound. You can adjust the volume of chat via the stereo headset adapter or the guide if your controller has the 3.5mm jack built in.

    This allows you to use chat on the DSS2! It is what I currently use.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask.

    EDIT This is what I bought, and although you can find it cheaper on monoprice or ebay, I had Prime so it was 2-day shipping for me:

  • Long 3.5mm extension This was to give my controller some distance from the DSS2.
  • PC Headset splitter for controller This plugs into my extension cable that is plugged into the controller.
  • 3.5mm Aux This plugs into the aux in the back of the DSS2 and into the headset port of the adapter above this one. (Any 3.5mm aux cord will work, I just wanted something short)
  • Headset adapter for headphones use this adapter if your Headset doesn't have two plugs, one for mic and one for headphones. The headphone plug will go into the DSS2 headphone port, and the mic will go into the female mic port on the adapter connected to the extension 3.5mm cord attached to the controller.
u/OhNoItsGodzirrah · 1 pointr/computers

A third alternative is to get a splitter. Because the TRRS (Tip, Ring, Ring, Sleeve, or headset) plug usually puts the microphone channel on the sleeve, modern computer mics are mismatched because they put their audio channel on the tip. This splitter takes the mic audio connection from the sleeve of the TRRS jack and moves it to the tip of the mic jack.

I keep one of those and the reverse (TRRS plug to separate mic and headphone TRS plugs) around because they're pretty handy when dealing with mobile devices.

u/James1o1o · 1 pointr/windows8

Basically, your skullcandy earphones come with something known as a TRRS jack. This allows them to have mic and headphone on one socket. The adapter that LOG_OF_DOOM is talking about, will simply split it into 2 separate connections that will go into your computer normally. The adapter will be extremely cheap.

u/Skellums · 1 pointr/techsupport

Most likely not without some kind of splitter.

If you look at the actual connector for the earbuds, you should notice that there are 3 white "rings", with 4 separate sections. 2 of these are your left and right audio, one is the mic, and the last one is the common ground.

When you plug it into the headphone jack on your laptop, it's only going to connect the left/right audio and ignore the mic, as the jack is likely only wired for audio-out if you have a separate mic jack.

Something like this will split the earbud connection into the 2 separate connections, one into the headphone jack, the other into the mic jack. There's likely cheaper versions to be found, you just need to make sure it's the single female end to double male end (and that it's designed to split headphone and mic signals).

u/Hesslr · 1 pointr/techsupport

What cable to you have? Looks like there are several that come with this headset. If you have the TRRS cable, then yes it looks like you would need an adapter to separate that into two TRS connections for microphone/headphone functionality.

u/Dallagen · 1 pointr/headphones

Boompro is good, replaces the cable and is a high quality cable.

You do need a headset port for it unless you buy a splitter.

u/GreatAtlas · 1 pointr/techsupport

So you've got one jack, right? Three black lines?
This is what's known as a 4-pin 3.5mm connector. It offers both speakers and microphones in the same package. The downside is that most computers are set to receive 2 3.5mm connectors that offer those separately. Here's one such adapter. They're usually cheap!

If I'm totally wrong, let me know and I'll work with you from there.

u/Wilda666 · 1 pointr/helpmebuildapc

I assume the front panel on your pc has 2 separate ports for Headphone and Microphone. Most laptops and phones combine these into one "Headphone microphone combo jack" however not all pcs do. You will need to purchase one of these or similar in order to get it working.
