I wonder if others are having this problem. I like to use my set of headphones with a mic using the audio adapter. When I plug it in it works fine. Now, when I unplug it and try to use the phone as normal I can't hear the person on the other line but they can hear me. When I plug the audio adapter with the headset I can hear them but they can't hear me unless i speak to the phone's microphone. It seems that plugging in the headset with the audio adapter "crosses some wires" between the headset and microphone. Using the Speaker and speakerphone works as normal. The only to resolve this so far for me has been to reflash the phone.
I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 with the latest Energy Leo Rom. Anybody else having the same problem?

the adaptor does not work with headsets with microphones, it is only for listening (I am guessing). if I did not know any better, It is a hardware thingy (adaptor is not supported) not a software
UPDATE:
Stereo Headset Adapter - HTC extUSB
Use this adapter to convert the HTC extUSB socket to support any 3.5mm stereo headphones.
Note: The adapter supports audio only and does not have a hangup / answer function.

Same, But Different...Bluetooth
I have had the unfortunate necessity to hard reset several times recently. This has been due to a similar problem as you are describing, however I was using an A2DP bluetooth headset. I listen to audio books while working, and it works great. Previously, I have always had it switch over to handsfree for phone conversations when a phone call comes in, then it switches back to stereo for listening. I have recently had it completely disable any audio, both incoming and outgoing during calls. It will switch back to the stereo function, and I can listen to my audio, but it will not work for phone functions. I have tried everything (reset bluetooth, unpair/repair, uninstall audiopara, softreset, disable/enable phone, etc.) to restore the functionality, with no luck. Hard reset seems to be the only solution so far.
I don't know if this is related to your problem, but I will be troubleshooting and will let you know what I discover (if anything).
The headset works when you first plug it in. Works perfect actually. It's when you unplug it things get crossed and nothing works right again except the speakerphone.
Have you noticed any difference in effect by differentiating the way you unplug the headset, ie, unplug headphones from adapter, then unplug adapter; unplug adapter with headphones plugged into adapter?
Just a suggestion, but I don't know if it will make a difference.

Can anyone help me with this:
I have always used my PPC's in my car connected to an external audio jack via a 3.5mm headphone connection. Not only did I use this for music, but it also allowed me use my car stereo to hear my callers much louder than the speakerphone was capable and still let me to use the built-in mic of the PPC to talk back.
Enter my Artemis and it's proprietary mini-usb audio jack...
I purchased the HTC mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter from expansys so that I could continue to use my in-car 3.5mm connection. Works great for music and TomTom (Austin Powers is scary loud now when he tells me to turn left!) BUT the built-in microphone in the Artemis seems to be disabled whenever the adapter is inserted in the mini-usb jack! I can't use Voicecommand with it inserted and my callers can't hear me until I pull out the adapter - which then takes away my nice loud car stereo to hear them!!!
Presumably, the disabling of the mic is because the mic in the included headset is expected to be used for calls when the audio jack is occupied. I know my configuration is not "standard," but it works (or worked) great for me and I would love to be able to continue to operate this way.
My question is: can anyone tell me which registry values control when the built-in mic is disabled? There must be a value that tells the Artemis to shut off the built-in mic when the headset is plugged in. I would love to change this so that the configuration I described above will work for me again. I have some trepidation about tinkering with my registry too much when I don't have that much experience with it. I hope there is some registry guru out there that will take pity on me and take on this challenge (if it's even possible).
Thanks in advance!
You'll have problems with something like this... I'd assume that it'll work similarly to the headset antenna registry entry, where on connection of the headset a key relating to the FM Radio software is changed from a 0 to a 1 allowing the application to launch.
There are one of 2 outcomes for you though unless you want to get crafty with a button or something to make the changes for you....
1 - Although you'll be able to change the reg setting, plugin in the usb cable or disconnecting it will simply reset the key,
2 - You'll permanently change it and if you want to use anything other than the handset mic you'll need to undo the change.
I'd say more than likely if it a dymanic key though and triggered by connection or disconnection of the usb cable then option 1 will take effect. I'm guessing that you'll need a button (software or hardware assigned) to control this properly.
Good Luck!
I'm too lazy to read.
Check the state and notification broker. Otherwise you'll probably have to directly interface with the audio driver.

Me too...?
Hi all,
I too want this fix, using the microphone whilst drawing off the audio feed for my vehicle stereo. Can it not be done with a soldering iron & external mic wired into the dongle adaptor?
Thanks Paul

Here is an adapter with microphone...
I suggest hacking a handsfree and making your own jack for the car. this is my plan soon!
Hi All,
I have the same problem with my HTC Diamond. Did anyone have a fix for this yet? As i do not mind changing the registry or if someone wanted to make a little program that would do this i would be more then happy to donate for all your troubles.. I'm unable to hack my fm transmitter as it is a holder aswell... see picture
Anyone with a concrete solution?
This seems to be a hot topic! Are we really sure that adapters with mic are not readily available?
If you're au fait with hardware hacking, haret can probably tell you which interrupts are being used and you can write a solution to poll the irqs that way.

There is nothing to do with Registry Hacking or Softwares in your case...

There is so many ways of soldering of wires (Line IN & Line OUT) using a mini usb to made your PDA more compact...
The built-in microphone in the Artemis or Any other HTC Devices sure have to be disabled whenever the adapter is inserted in the mini-usb jack for the soldering of 2 Line-Out (Audio-Out Left & Right) and 1 Line-In (Audio-In/Microphone) Example: Headset that come with your PDA.
Unless HTC going to make one mini-usb to two cables,one for 3.5mm adapter for headphone and another to Mic.jack or a Microphone itself.
This is quite difficult for HTC to custom a cable or jack for individual need.
I think you have to DIY for your need in this case:
Use the headset that come with your Artemis, the one that have a Mic and mini-usb jack...
Cut away the left & right earphone, soldering the two cables into a 3.5 jack (male or female)
Both this jacks-Male or Female can be found in electronic spare-part shop anywhere.

Hi all,
Have any of the Hermes Guru's out there worked out if Bluetooth and USB headsets can be used at the same time.
What I am trying to achieve is for the phone sound - ie incomming calls etc to be routed to the bluetooth pairing and for the other sounds, such as my gps, music and other sounds to continue to be routed via the mini USB port, either for headphones or lineout.
Is this possible? Would this be a registry setting? Is all sound handled in the same way, or is it possible to determine the phone sounds against all others.
Thanks in advance
Adam
does anyone have any ideas?
When in my car, I have the usb port plugged in to a 3.5 adapter and into my car stereo. I also have a BT headset turned on and on my ear. While listening to MP3s, if the phone rings, the mp3 player on the phone stops playing and it displayes the caller ID. If I push the button on the headset, I get the phone call on the BT. When I am done, the mp3 starts again through the usb.
thanks
Awesome yatrg, that was exactly what im trying to do. I can buy an aux input for my car and run it off the mini-usb to 3.5mm adaptor and can also get a parrot bluetooth to handle the phone call.
Cheers mate

Hey so I've tried searching other threads for my specific challenge and none of them seem to really touch on this so here goes.
I have a Samsung Fascinate, I'm rooted and I've flashed a bunch of kernels and ROMs no problem and as far as I can tell my Bluetooth works fine and audio works fine.
My issue is this: My car supports hands free calling via bluetooth and i've paired them with no issues and have made/received calls no problem. I've also used my phone to play music through the AUX cable no problem. I know that my car STEREO does not support Bluetooth and here is where i run into a problem.
I have my phone plugged in on my way to work singin along to my favorite tune when a call comes through. But (I think) when the AUX is plugged in, it interferes with the audio when connected to the bluetooth. Basically i can hear a call coming through on my car stereo and i can push the buttons on my steering wheel for functions on the phone but i can't hear and the other end can't hear me. So i have to end up unplugging the AUX cable out then the audio returns.
First off... is it just me? did I do something wrong along my journey of flashing all sorts of stuff? cuz i could've sworn at one point (i think before i went voodoo) it was all working fine together, but i could be wrong.
So if it's not something I did, is there a headset adapter out there with controls and possibly some kinda screen for like caller id or at least current track? like something that can connect to regular earphones that has an inline mic and controls.
Unless you fine folks have a better idea I would love to hear them. (I don't have a budget for this... just want to get it working... unless it's cheaper to buy a new car that can support it all)
Thanks
I think this is a fascinate specific or limited problem

Anyone have a solution for this one?
I have a 2008 car with factory installed Bluetooth phone interface. The Bluetooth is ONLY for the phone, not music. The car also has an aux in jack for the stereo. (Know where I'm going with this yet)?
Yesterday I was listening to music using the 3.5 mm jack on the phone, and it was also connected by Bluetooth to the car's phone interface. A call came in. The stereo automatically muted like it should but when I answered the phone I couldn't hear anybody there. After 30 seconds or so I hung up.
Then it dawned on me, with something plugged into the 3.5 mm jack, the phone audio may have been routed through that jack instead of Bluetooth. BUT the car assumes that when a call comes in you want the stereo muted so it kills audio from everywhere except Bluetooth. I suppose I could have reached over and unplugged the 3.5 mm jack, but that's inconvenient when I'm driving.
So, the question is, is there any way to set up the phone to always route phone call audio through Bluetooth when Bluetooth is connected?
I have the same issue.
I listen to music in my car via a cable from the headphone jack to my car stereo's aux in. If I get a call over bluetooth, I can't hear anything. If I unplug the cable on the phone side, I can hear the person on my car speakers, and the caller can hear me via the car's mic.
Are you using the stock firmware or a custom ROM? If it isn't a problem on a custom ROM then perhaps it can be fixed. It's very annoying -- my 3-year-old HTC Hero could do this, why can't the S3?
I was told by someone with a different version of the S3 (an international one) that this isn't an issue on their phone.
I'd love to find this out while I still have time to return the phone.
I'm going to try building a "car adapter cable" that feeds audio out the USB port to see if that works, Instructions are in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395173
That could be one option. Still seems pretty lame that we have to come up with workarounds for this pretty basic problem.
And I'd love to hear from someone running a custom ROM to try and figure out if it's a hardware or a software issue.
Dear All,
I have a quite big problem, when I want to make a phone call in my car.
I connect the phone's audio out via a minijack to my car's radio and I want to use my phone's built in microphone for phone calls.
Unfortunately the mic does not record my voice loud enough. When I use the phone's built in loudspeaker it works fine, but when I use the car radio as sound output the mic does not record loud enough.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
My Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had a car mode available for this.
Thanks!
Simply, the headphone jack also contains the mic connector for a proper phone head/earphone and mic. Plugging your phone into your stereo via this jack disconnects the internal mic in favour of the headset mic which of course you won't have if you connect to the car stereo. So you are effectively disabling the ability to use the phone for calls when plugged in this way.
But the mic is NOT disabled. It is still enabled but is recording the voice as if it is being used like in a normal phone call. All I need is a function to switch the mic to some kind of a handsfree mode.
Sorry for my English.
With "normal phone call" I mean the phone being held right at your ear.
With "handsfree mode" I mean speakerphone mode.
So I need the audio out via stereo jack and I need the voice in via phone microphone in speakerphone mode...
Can you try using a cable that doesn't pass microphone? I think the difference is the full cable WITH mic uses 3 connections and the standard audio only uses 2.
This will prevent the internal microphone from being disabled.

I already use a standard audio cable with 2 connections only. The problem is not that the microphone is not working at all but it is not recording loudly enough. I simply want it to record as loudly as it does on speakerphone mode.
