Hello all~ can anybody teach me how I can use a 3.5mm mono or stereo microphone with my Atom to record?
I have tried the internal mic but the recording quality is not good.
I have also tried to use a convert adapter (a 3.5mm plug to 2.5mm jack for a mp3 player) but the mic didn't work.
Many thanks!
You have to option to take a orginal headset with a mic, get the cabel that goes to the mic part of it and solder on a own connection, but be warned that the impedans is probebly wrong so if you can record, its almost sertian that its at o very low volym.
sorry for the typos.

I wonder whether somebody has tried to connect a high-quality mic to the mda2 in order to improve recording quality?
Can the device record with two mics in stereo?
Is the plug avalable seperately?
Thanks

i'm pretty sure that the mic is mono
Rudegar, thanks. You are right. the mic is mono.
My goal is to improve the sound quality of the recording.
That's exactly why I asked,
"Can the device record with two mics in stereo?"
(Provided one can indeed connect two mics)

when the headset which include mic is connected the speaker and mic in the device are hardware muted
and cant be used at all
I'll try it again in other words (Sorry for not being precise the first two times. :roll: English is not my native language).
Goal: I need to do quality sound recordings in stereo.
Idea: I would like to connect external SHURE SM58 mics to the mda2.

Is the headset 2,5mm plug avalable seperately?
Thanks

yes you can buy a 3.5mm to 2.5mm jack conveter just make sure it also bring out the mic some only do the lineout
still not sure about what you mean with recording in stereo
the mic in the headset is mono
and the mic in the device cant be used at the same time as the mic in the headset
there is no way you can get it to record anything in stereo
unless you can find some SD audio grapper card
you can record in mono and make it joined stereo with an audio program joined stereo is just making both channels play the sound
still not sure about what you mean with recording in stereo

"recording in stereo" I mean recording with two external microphones at once.
Pls. forget the headset. Please forget the internal mic.
Let's explain it that way:
In order to record in decent quality you traditionally need :
2 mics
A stereo tape recorder
Result:
Tape with 2 channels
(This is stereo BTW)
Now my idea:
replace recorder with mda2
2mics
MDA2
Result:
Wav or mp3 with 2 channels
To set the scene:
1st: Throw away the headset
2nd: dump the internal mic (or at least ignore it altogether!)
"How can one connect 2 mics to the MDA2 in order to record a 2 channel (stereo) wav or MP3?"
Please! Does anybody understand my question? If yes could you native english speaker please help to rephrase it? Thanks
the jack connector in the xda support 2 line out
and 1 line in
there is no way you can connect 2 mics to 1 mono mic in
much in the same way you cant connect a 5.1 surround system to your xda and play movies with surround it have 2 lines out and 5.1 require 6 lines out
same thing with input 1 line == mono
no way you can connect 2 mics

Thank you!
That was the answer I needed.
But it does not mean, that I am too happy with it.

i have a i-mate jam, which i use as mp3 player and it has been working ok but now the sound from the headphones is only coming out the right headphone, i replaced the headphones but still have the problem, i have check the scoket and it seems to be conectiong with the plug propley.
is it possiable that a setting has been changed and turn output from stero into mono
thanks,
craig
i tried adding a mono to stero adapter in the headphone scoket and they sound went completly,
i think one of the connector inside your headphone jack is broken... i experience also that problem when the right side of my earphone is not workin, i dissamble my unit and i found that the connector is broken so i mold it with soldering iron and led..... this usually happen when you put your phone on your pocket and upon sitting the headphone jack looses to the other side...
Bluetooth A2DP
Good day
Why don't you go bluetooth A2DP works good.
I just want to know, if you plug in a normal headphones (normal one, without mic, only stereo speakers) to the HD 3.5mm audio jack, does the internal mic in the HD still work?
Can you still answer phone calls without unplugging the headphones?
Does the headphones disable the internal mic?
The reason I ask is because I would like to know if I hook up the HD to the car aux input, will it work without adding an extra external microphone.
Thanks guys for helping answering this questions.

No, the mic works. The phone also rings when the headphones are plugged into it.
That's right. The microphone still work. I've been using wired headset to make calls. If it does't work, it would'nt have been possible to make such phone calls.
Thats nice to hear. But from how far away the microphone catches sounds?. If i use my stereo headphones, will the microphone be boosted, like in the speaker mode, when it can catch the voice even from the table, couple feet away?
It works Great in my car, i put it on myside [beside the GEAR]. but car speakers volume should not be very loud.
So I have a 3.5mm jack in my car that connects to the AUX function in the stereo. I used to use this for handsfree with my previous device. (The microphone being used was the phone's microphone, with the 3.5mm jack outputting callers through the car speakers)
Does anyone know how to get the HD2 to properly recognise that the plug being plugged in doesn't have a microphone? It seems to chop off any voice function because the HD2 thinks I've plugged in a headset with a builtin microphone when this one doesn't have that.. It's just a regular 3.5mm jack.
Perhaps a registry hack? Could this be a hardware limitation?
Thanks for any help!
Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if it's possible to record audio with own microphone (or other devices, like players etc), which is connected to the headset microphone input? Would it be possible to connect a mono chinch cable from a microfone to the headset input? Is there any app for recording this way?
Thanks a lot!

Yes it is possible. I have already experimented with an external microphone.
You can connect an electret microphone capsule to the phone using the headset jack connector.
HTC uses 4pin 3,5mm Jack.
Counting from the bottom of the jack the first pin is microphone+ second GND - third right earpiece+ fourth left earpiece+.
If you connect an electret mic between the first and second pin with the right polarity, you can use it to record sound.
It should be possible to connect other signal sources, but be careful. I do not know what is the maximal input voltage.
The phone will recognize any 4pin jack as a handsfree you will see the icon on the notification bar. Sadly if you play any sound on the phone it will be sent to the "headphones".
