Dear LLTIers,
There's a minor technical query about which I would appreciate your advice.
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?
Jack
