Hi All,
I'm a bit lost with this one and cant quite seem to find\word what I am looking for in my searches.
I basically just want to connect an audio input into my Desire. I assume this is possible as the headphone jack has a Mic input functionality. Any ideas? I am thinking of a short cable that plugs into the headphone socket and has a female 3.5mm jack on the other end into which a standard microphone\aux input can be plugged?
I guess its possible but you would only get mono input for recording, afaik the kernel controls how the headset input is operated and all 3 contacts need to have contact.
Yes, it will definitely be a mono input... But I doubt the quality of the recording from such input...

Thanks guys. Mono only is not a problem as I only want to record spoken word for a podcast. Would be interesting to see how good the quality is (voice recording works well using the supplied headset)

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.
I'm new in this forum... please cc this Thread to me 'thru Private Messages, so that i can give further help and keep track how the going you guys out there...
Hi,
Is there a way to use the Captivate's 3.5mm jack as an audio input jack instead of audio output? I'm wondering if there's a way to use the phone as an audio recorder since it has such a large internal memory

Sure, the earbuds that came with the phone have a mic - you won't get stereo recording, but you can get mono recording.

thanks, but i was actually wondering if there were a way to get stereo recording?
There is only a single audio in line - so unless you can simulate stereo with one input, I don't think so.

bummer, that's too bad.
I have an external mic (called an iRig Mic) that connects to a phone with a headset-jack.
On an iPhone it can be used to record audio when shooting videos, but when i connect it to my Nexus S running android, the sound from the mic is not recorded. Instead the audio from the internal mic i used.
Is there any way to change the audio source when recording videos? This would be a great feature for journalists using their phone as a camcorder for interviews.
Recording audio via 3.5 jack on android using external microphone
You have to buy adapter which will split the signal for microphone in and audio out (you probably know 3.5 jack in your phone is 2 directional as it supports headset with mic)
You can try to look for it on Amazon (headset buddy)
or solder into headset in the pins which are responsible for mic signal.
Then,
I know only 1 app for android which supports recording from external microphone:
Arabela Audio Recorder - choose DEFAULT audio source and it should catch the signal from external mic connected through adapter via 3.5 jack.
I THINK it can catch the audio while recording video because it works in background ... so later you will be able to remove the audio from video recording and join it with the one you recorded using Arabela with some kind of video editor
regards
couple of questions,
for the external mic is it stereo or mono?
any other programs you know that can capture external mic input since this post?
thanks!

Hey guys is their anyway we can get a line out mod in any of the custom roms. There isn't a way to use this feature currently that I'm aware. Any help would be great and I think that this is a much needed feature for audiophiles and/or people looking to listen to their music via aux input in their automobiles.
how specifically are you trying to mod the line-out? Make it output via FM Radio? Or make it output louder audio from the AUX port? If so, I know you can use an auxilary ampifier to make it louder, but software wise I no of no such thing. There probably is something out there, I'm just too lazy to look
Where would I find a aux amplifier at?

Can't say I understand what you are trying to achieve. Could you elaborate it a little more?
When you try to hook up your GN to a aux input or say a pair of speakers, the volume is unlistenable to say the least. Their is no way that I know of to improve this sound or quality that I have found. For info more see this link http://www.head-fi.org/t/582179/samsung-galaxy-nexus/60
Use Volume+ 1.8 . It will boost the headset volume to whatever level u need. Search for it in the forums. That should solve ur problem!

Get one from Dealextreme. I use the FiiO E5 to take the audio signal from my Xbox 360 cable straight into my headphones. You just connect the E5 inline with the two 3.5mm connectors and it has a volume control independent of the source!

Does anybody know of a way one can record sound from the headphone jack on the DHD? I want to record something from a line out and I figured to connect it to my phone using the 2xRCA-3.5mm cable, but couldn't find an app for it... Anyone found a way?

any sound recording app will do it, u just have to feed the audio into the mic ring on the connector. cant just feed audio backwards into an amplifier and record it. you will only get mono recording ability though.
Got a scheme/picture which ring is the mic ring? And can it take line-out/record-out loudness, or do I have to cut it down? Also, I'm pretty sure that when I plug in normal headphones which don't have a microphone the DHD uses its own, how exactly does it recognize a plugged in mic?
Im not sure offhand which it is. id dig around in google, any of the standard headsets work as its a standard for which ring is the mic. im just at work and dont have the moment to search it out. line out volume sohuld work fine, but any amplified or even headphone outputs could be too much for it.
i had an adapter i made for hooking my guitar to my ipad a while ago but dont know where i put it lol.
Nice, guess I'll get into researching, one more thing for me to play with...
Thank you for your time...
