[Q] stereo recording via 3.5mm jack? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have more detailed specifications for the Note 4's headphone jack?
I am wondering whether it is possible to record stereo audio via thsi jack?
For this of course the jack would need separate wires/contacts for the left/right mike in addition to the
sound output. Does it have that? (It could be that it also may have a lead for the accept/reject/start call function the Samsung headset has).
I have a LiveScribe binaural headset that I would like to use. it has what looks like 5 contact areas in the plug (4 black rings)
If the phone does allow stereo recording through the jack but the contacts don't match, does anyone know of any available adapter?

2,5mm plug for recording

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)
Regards,
V
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.
Can the device record with two mics in stereo?
Is the headset 2,5mm plug avalable seperately?

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.

External 3.5mm microphone

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.

Speakerphone when 3.5mm jacked in?

Is there any way to get the speaker phone active when 3.5mm audio jack is connected? I use an FMtransmitter connected to the 3.5mm to get the sound out in my car speakers, works fine with music and tomtom sound... but when i get a phone call i would like to answer with speaker phone preferable with the sound still from my car speakers, but with the phone mic activated.
It seams like the phone mic is deactivated when 3.5mm is connected.

I don't know the answer to that specific question, but...
I have a very similar set up to you (though the 3.5mm jack runs directly to my car stereo), using PocketMusic and TomTom.
The in-built mic is active in this case - If I get an incoming call, or make an outgoing call, the audio out is routed through my car stereo (i.e. I hear the other person over the car speakers). The mic still picks up my voice and I can have a conversion. I'm using a regular 3.5mm->double RCA lead (i.e. there is no mic present on the audio jack).

Recording audio from microphone input

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!
microphone
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".

Dual Audio Output/Input?

Hi,
i im in need of an answer to this: Is it possible to route audio out during a call, to the in built earpiece and have the audio input taken the from 3.5mm jack?. Cus, my mic is broken and i was thinking of buying the 3.5mm standalone mic that records input. But then the phone would not route the audio output to the phone's earpiece.So any workarounds to this?
