I have some 50 retired Sony microphone/headset combinations which I'd like to get a few more miles out of by recycling them for use with computers. The problem is that the headsets use a two prong audio jack connector and the computer sound cards all use single jack micro input/output plugs. Is there anything more involved here than converting the plug on the microphone/headset to feed a separate audio output/microphone input? Does anyone know of a commercially available conversion product to facilitate the process? I suppose that, in a pinch, one could always just snip off the original double plug and solder on two separate ones. Any suggestions?
