I use the Sony Tablet S for Skype and the microphone Skype as I'am travelling around the world atm in cities with varying broadband speeds so it is not my broadband speed and I know it is not Skype as my friend uses his ipod touch to Skype with minimum problems. I was wondering if I could plug a headset into my headphone jack and speak through the microphone jack?

The tablet's stereo headphone output jack also serves as a mono microphone input jack, so a headset with a microphone can be connected to the jack.

Hi,
I have a Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset http://www.computingondemand.com/reviews/audio-Logitech-PrecisionGamingPCHeadset/page1.shtml and it works great.
So would need an adapter like this to connect it to the Blue Angel -
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=PPCPADPT16
Am I correct that BOTH the speaker ***and the microphone*** are then rerouted to the headset, or does it only reroute the speaker?
Thanks People
I have the same setup. Both connections on the adapter are for headsets only
1 for headset
1 for stereo headset
I contacted them about this and they noted that there may be a need for this type of setup, but had no immediate intentions of changing the config.

Well..., I think I have to disagree with Raptor :shock:... I have both the PPCPADPT16 and the PPCPADPT15. The 2.5 side on the 16 does indeed enable the mic on a standard 2.5mm head set and the 3.5 mm side provides stereo sound, but no mic.
I use mine as part of a car kit for my xda IIs. I use the 3.5mm side to plug in a cassette adaptor and feed stereo MP3 sound and the phone through the car speakers. I plug in a regular 2.5mm hands free kit into the 2.5mm side of the adaptor and use that as the mic attached to the door pillar Works pretty well for all up cost of about $45
The 15 works by feeding the stereo sound into the car stereo via the cassette adaptor, while keeping the internal speaker of the XDA IIs enabled. In this way you can play the sound through the car stereo (or any stereo headset) while still being able to answer a call via the xda's mic and listen to the caller over the stereo speakers...
Hope that helps

Ah...now after rereading the posts, I think I now understand what you were looking for
You need an adaptor that provides stereo sound and a mic in a single 2.5mm or 3.5mm connector....correct..? In which case neither of these do it in a single connector..
Sorry, misunderstood on the first pass :roll

indeed stereo sound and a mic ,
thanks for the confirmation!

Chris,
Does your 2.5mm hands free kit comes with its own speaker, too? When you plug the 2.5mm hands free kit into the 2.5mm side to use the mic, does the sound comes out of the 2.5mm hands free kit's speaker also? Or the 2.5mm side only connects the mic and no sound is routed through it?
If no sound is routed through the 2.5mm side then it sounds like the PPCPADPT16 is designed for one to use his own speaker (cassette adapter to car's speakers, etc...) and his own mic (hands free kit,etc... but then one wastes the hands free kit's speaker). Does any body know if there is a mic-only device that can plugs into the 2.5mm side? I couldn't find any, a device that has a mic always come with an earphone. arghh!!!
If there is sound routed through the 2.5mm side, then whenever one receives a call, sound will come from all over the place, louder sound from the car's speakers competing with the weaker sound from the hands free kit's speaker... It sounds distracting!!
I have a feeling the designer meant to add a mic to this adapter so that the 3.5mm side and the 2.5mm side can be used independently. The 3.5mm side for those who wants to use the car's speakers and the adapter's mic... The 2.5mm side for one who wants to use a hands free kit...
The 15 works by feeding the stereo sound into the car stereo via the cassette adaptor, while keeping the internal speaker of the XDA IIs enabled. In this way you can play the sound through the car stereo (or any stereo headset) while still being able to answer a call via the xda's mic and listen to the caller over the stereo speakers...

PPC Adaptors and hands Free Kit
Hi Sumtingwong
The hands free "kit" I put together is actually an assembly of individual components I selected, rather than an actual kit.
I use a standard non powered, vent mount holder for the xda 2s and power the device via a standard car charger. The holder does not have any kind of speaker built in. I am currently using the PPCtechs "16" adaptor, with the 3.5mm side plugged into a cassette sound feeder (have also used it with an FM sound feeder as well) and the 2.5 mm side plugged into a standard 2.5mm mono hands free speaker/mic combo. I have the mic part of this attached to the drivers side door pillar. Then, I have MS Voice Command installed on the xda, with the "record" button on the xda mapped to the Voice Command software
So the way it works is as follows.
1. Get into car and place xda in vent mount holder. Attach car charger and PPCTech # 16 adaptor to xda.
2. Turn car radio / stereo on and insert casette sound feeder adaptor (you can use a FM Sound Feeder here instead and tune to the appropriate FM station)
3. Hit the xda "record" button and at the Voice Command prompt say "Play Don Henley" (It's the only CD I have on my SD card right now.. ) The music starts!
4. Then I decide I want to call someone, so, while the music is still playing, I hit the record button again and on the Voice Command prompt say "call Veronica at home". The music stops and the phone dials the number from the contact list.
5. The phone rings and I get her voice mail (she's never at home ) So I hang up and restart the music.
6. Then a call comes in, which interupts the music with the ring tone through the car speakers. I can see who is calling via the xda screen and hit the "call answer" button on the xda to answer the call. My car has volume up and down on the steering wheel, so that its pretty convienent to adjust the volume from there.
7. When the call is done, I hit the "call end" button on the xda and the music starts back up automatically.
It works pretty well. A couple of other things to address your questions.
a. I don't have a speaker built into the xda holder, so sound coming out there is not an issue for me.
b. The 2.5mm headset side does still have the speaker attached, but sound is not a problem as its so low.
c. I too have not found a (cheap) 2.5mm "mic only". I asked the PPC Tech folks if they had or could recommend one. They did not, but their solution was simple and inexpensive...."we find just cutting of the headphone part off the handsfree works well"!!
The other thing I use and love is PocketMax "PhoneAlarm" (www.pocketmax.net) As well as some great alarm functions, this app supports various profiles that control, amongst other things, the input and output sound on the PPC mic and speaker. So I set up the "car" profile with a mic sensitivity and audio output that matches the car stereo best. That way there are no big volume changes when switching from say the car radio to the MP3 music on the XDA (BTW, you can also listen to internet radion on the XDA this way too!)
Well there you go, hope that answers your questions. If not, let me know.

Chris

perfect explanation
perfect explanation pretty much covers what i want to do break out the sound from my mda III.
I would like to go one stage further and use a pc stereo headset with my mda III but i think that would require a mono 3.5 socket as well as the stereo head phone socket.
looks like the devices discussed so far are working as a pass through to a 2.5 headset and a stereo 3.5 socket for what ever ...
I've not been on this board long but this looks an ideal thread for a sticky any moderator think its worth while

Hi Black Night
The 3.5mm socket on the # 16 is for stereo headphones (no mic), while the 2.5 socket is for regular hands free kit with mono head phone plus mic. I agree with post above that a useful addition to the connector range would be a 3.5mm that was stereo and also included the mic. This would allow the use of the gaming headset mentioned above.
For now though you could use the # 15 adaptor. This is a 3.5mm stereo socket that accepts a 3.5mm stereo headset AND also keeps the mic on the device active. With this you can get stereo sound and still communicate wth the xda via its built in mic while the headphones are plugged in.

Chris

Thanks for the reply Chris. It's interesting to be able to "look" inside your car and "see" your typical day
I want to make up a lead to connect Qtek9090 to my car stereo's 3.5mm audio jack socket, but cannot find anywhere that sells the connector for the qtek (which has 4 conductors). Any ideas? thanks

i try using NOKIA headset connector... it works great..
Thank you, but where can i purchase just the connector, not a ready built lead... Or the nokia? Also which of the terminals relate to stero and are the wired the same for the nokia headset?
just buy non origilal nokia headset... and make a little bit modification..

DON'T BUY THIS ADAPTER... unless you have an extra 2.5mm mic (cell handsfree set) to plug into the smaller jack shown on photo (the bigger jack is for the 3.5mm audio plug). This adapter WILL DISABLE YOUR XDA IIs MICROPHONE and route it to the 2.5mm microphone jack (cellphone handsfree set).
BUY THIS ONE INSTEAD --> http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=118289 It won't disable your XDA IIs microphone. It only routes audio to the 3.5mm jack. Your built in XDA IIs microphone will still work
anywhere cheaper than this though, seems a rip off for what it is.

I have a vibrant (running frost 2.2.1) and a car with an aux input.
Is it really just connect the aux cable to the phone and make a call? Will the phone mic still attempt to pickup my voice?
Yeah the phone audio will go through the car speakers but the Mic will be the Mic on the phone unless you have an auxiliary cable with an inline microphone

I have the official Samsung cardock, and connected it to my car radio (the cardock has a 3.5mm jack output). Nice, now I can listen to the music on my phone over my carspeakers!
BUT:
Whenever I make or receive a call, the sound of the conversation keeps channeling through the phone's own external speaker. Disabling the phone's external speaker (either during the call or beforehand) does not fix it. It just néver get's through the 3.5mm jack output to my car stereo. Annoying, since my car is pretty loud when speeding.
[Q]How to channel the audio of a voicecall to the jack-output? Does anybody know of a fix for this? I have looked around-and-around-and-around, and have asked this before. Just can't believe I'm the only-one that is bothered by this!
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BLUETOOTH-CARKIT-SUGGESTIONS, no matter how nice you guys mean it
Anybody any idea?
Nobody no ideas?
I would like to do this too, speeding along the motorway the phone speaker is just too quiet.

Ah, at least I'm not the only one... Now let's hope some dev is bothered by the same problem
I guess this is gonna be one of those unanswered questions...
Bump-bumptie-dum
I recon if I bump long enough, someone with the solution should notice this question sooner or later; Although I realize that moment might be somewhere around 2015, with an answer like "Buy a galaxy S9 mate..."
Anyone?
Is the S9 there yet? Or else a solution to my problem?
I have a std aux input into my car stereo. Plugging a stereo 3.5 lead from the phone jack into the stereo aux I can listen to all sounds from the phone over all car speakers including calls... Just like when a headset is connected. Calls go over car speakers and phone mic picks up voice.
It would seem then that its the official samsung dock being treated different to a simple direct lead connection.
My only gripe is during calls the phones mic works but thinks its on a std call and is a bit weak. Wish I could force the mic into speakerphone mode or the levels associated with that mode anyway. Btw... Turning on speakerphone while lead is connected stops the output over the speakers.
I have a trrs mic / stereo splitter adapter and a seperate car 3.5 mic but again the mic levels on the phone in headset mode need boosting.

Hmm... So maybe if I use a splitter to merge the signal from both the cardock AND the phonejack...
Thnx m8! Not entirely what I was looking for (one more thing to do when plugging in my phone in the car), but it just-might-work!
Will report back
Just note I do not 'need' the splitter to make it work. Without a splitter it works just fine using car speakers and the phones mic (as the aux lead is std audio lead only - not including the third ring position for the mic).
I just got the splitter to use a seperate external mic in the car. The splitter simply has all 3 rings to make phone think its a full headset connected like the set that comes in the box with the phone and splits audio and mic into 2 seperate connections. This way I then take the std aux lead from the audio split to the stereo for listening over the car speakers and use the mic split for plugging in any std 3.5 external mic.

I understood that, it's just that I would probably need a splitter in my specific situation, since all my music gets played through the cardock by default as soon as I plug in the phone... It's possible to disable this automatic switch of audiorouting when the phone get's plugged in though, but somehow it just doesn't feel right to NOT use the audio-out feature of the cardock
has anyone tried using a inline mic or a bt headset on their tf201? ive tried the inline mic from my x10 headphones and they dont seem to work, was wondering if anyone knows which headphones with inline mic work with the TF201 or even a bluetooth that does voice also
Without modifications to the jack or the plug, I don't think you can use most headphonesnwith an inline mic. Bluetooth headsets should work.

im looking at the spec sheets online and im seeing alot of "1 x 2-in-1 Audio Jack (Headphone / Mic-in)" unless that means i can only use 1 of them at a time,,, which would be really dumb,,, as for bt ive can only hear stuff. but the mic on the headset itself doesnt pick up sound. it only pics up from the tablet mics
Don't have a bt to try, but I do have cheap earbuds with a mic, doesn't work and the ATP's manual suggests it can only do input or output on the jack.

I just purchased a pair of Turtle Beach M5 headphones that has an inline mic with control talk. It works great with my HTC Evo 3D, but the 3.5mm 4-pole/3-ring plug doesn't fit into the TF201's audio jack as the last ring and pole are exposed. The audio out works, but the bass level is too high and the treble level is too low. Disappointingly, mic-in doesn't work.

i tried my bt headset but also only audio out works, mic doesn't.
i didn't look into it more detailed but would be happy if bt mic would work, as the built-in mic isn't that brilliant
I figured out that my test was flawed and that I couldn't tell whether or not the audio was being picked up by my mic or the TF201's mic.
I tried a Plantronics Gamecon headset which has inline volume and mute contols along with a 3-ring adapter. With the mute turned on, no audio was picked up by the headset or the TF201's microphone. Thus, with the mute off, the audio must be getting recorded by the headset's microphone.
