Reddit reviews CablesOnline 3.5mm TRRS 4-Position Female to Dual 3-Position 3.5mm TRS Male Headset Splitter Adapter (IP-AY12C)

Well, ipeeingirlsbuttholes, this might be what you need. http://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-4-Position-3-Position-Splitter-IP-AY12C/dp/B00N03ZYUU

You might be aware of this already, but have you looked into TRRS? The headphones look like TRRS (mic and stereo in one plug) and your old case might have a TRRS socket, but the MSI motherboard looks like the standard 7.1 socket, meaning that you'd probably have to get a splitter like this.

Also, looks like the headphones come with a separate TRS cable, which might mean it only carries audio.

Buy this or something similar to it.

TBH just use the Beetz microphone built into the cable. It was tuned by Drey for best base.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N03ZYUU/ just plug beetz into this, plug the headphone one into cassette player. Plug microphone one into laptop (HP Laptop with Beetz audio) and record.

I believe you have a trrs jack on the headset (4 gold sections). These carry both audio out and in. If they're plugged into a non trrs jack, then they just act as headphones, the audio out only.

The laptop has two standard 3.5 mm jacks, one for audio out, and another for audio in. You need a trrs splitter.

Attached is an example. I don't recommend this exact one, just the first I found on mobile. https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-4-Position-3-Position-Splitter-IP-AY12C/dp/B00N03ZYUU

Correct. He would need a trrs to trs adapter/splitter.

You can use a TRRS splitter that separates the headphone signal from your mic signal. Here's an example. Note that you need one that goes TRRS female to TRS male. It'll probably be better to just get another pair of headphones though.

It's likely because the jack on the EX14AP has one extra conductor (for the microphone) than the jack in the computer (which I assume you're using and that has separate headphone and microphone jacks). You could get a splitter like this which should fix the problem. Any decent looking adapter will do, just make sure it's TRRS female to dual TRS male. You don't need to have the microphone jack of the splitter plugged in btw.

you need something like this

You'll need somthing like this as long as your computer has a separate port for Mic & headphones

Do you have a splitter connected when you connect the headset to your PC or are you connecting using the same single 3.5mm connector you use for your phone? If you don't have a splitter, that's your issue. The 3.5mm connector from your headset is TRRS, which is what your phone supports and it carries both microphone and audio through one cable, your PC connection is TRS and has separate microphone and speaker ports.

Assuming your computer has a 3.5mm Mic input you should be able to get an adaptor like this. If you want a separate better quality microphone the best option would probably be a modmic.

Can you use a female TRRS to dual male TRS adapter:

You need an adapter like this. Each of the rings on the jack are a channel. Left, Right, Mic, and Common. So those headphones that have a built in mic have 4 rings.

Your Headphone jack only has 2 rings, left and right. Mic jack too. The reason why your laptop and phone will work is because it has rings with all what is technically 4 channels in it. Your desktop does not have this, it has two seperate jacks. This adapter combines them into one jack so you can use your heaphones with the mic.

It has a TRRS plug, you need to use a two TRS splitter to connect it to most PCs.

Something like this?

Are you talking about something like this? You plug a cell-phone style headphone+mic jack into the female end, and you get a vanilla headphone and vanilla mic plug out.

Great we found the culprit!

Now, the 3,5mm is a TRRS jack that handles audio and microphone signals at the same time. If your PC doesn't support this type of jack you'll have to get a splitter cable in order to use mic / stereo sound.

If your PC / Laptop has a TRRS plug than you don't need such a cable. If you use the 3,5mm jack make sure to follow the instructions in the last point I mentioned earlier. Also set the sample rate to 24bit 44.1khz. This way you'll ensure the best sound quality possible.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

If you're using apple headphones try these.

Ah of course it would be reverse because one goes into two, not two into one. My bad! So it would be something more like this then? https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-4-Position-3-Position-Splitter-IP-AY12C/dp/B00N03ZYUU

The dongle is super frustrating, especially because it seems to work perfectly when plugged into my Surface Pro. Can't figure out the difference between it and my PC other than when I plug it into the Surface pro the device shows up in "sound, video and game controllers" rather than "other devices" in device manager - and of course doesn't have the yellow exclamation mark of needing drivers

You might be able to use something like this also: https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-4-Position-3-Position-Splitter-IP-AY12C/dp/B00N03ZYUU

I haven't tested that personally but I preferred the USB sound card option so i can still output to my speakers and headphones separately.

It depends if your headset has a TRRS connector or a TRS connector.

• T = Tip
  
• R = Ring
  
• S = Sleeve
  
  Therefore... a TRRS connector has two rings.
  
  Assuming you have a TRRS connector... you can get something like this to split it out into two 3.5mm TRS male connectors.
  
  I should also note that many devices support 3.5mm TRRS headsets. For example... most cell phones, most modern Macintosh computers, the Dualshock 4 (PS4 controller), etc. etc.

  If your headset has a TRS connector, then it is a mono headset. But those are fairly uncommon.

Yes, if you get a special TRRS to 2xTRS splitter that has pink and green plugs (or otherwise denotes headphone and mic plugs), and is compatible with your phone headphones (basically Apple vs nearly everybody else).

You want one like this

Here

Yeah the originals do not need it, since they don't even have a microphone. You'll need something like this, I think. You have to separate the microphone signal from the audio signal and connect it to a separate sound card that does support mic input.

You need a TRRS (phone plug) to dual TRS (two 3.5mm) adapter like this one.

Recent macs support TRRS (so the apple earbuds) but not PCs. You might be able to use the earbuds to listen but not record. Or in the rare case where you have an inverted TRRS, the other way around.

Anyway if you have plain earbuds, the ones you use to listen to mp3 players and such with no microphone (if the connector has 2 black lines like the center one named TRS here,) you can use them as a microphone just to test if your audio jacks are working properly. It will sound like shit probably but they will record.

something like this (https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-4-Position-3-Position-Splitter-IP-AY12C/dp/B00N03ZYUU/) will split the mic from the headphone

Would this one work?
