External mic problem with iphone 4?
Alright so I wanted to use an external mic on my iphone 4. So this is the set up:
Shotgun mic -> xlr to 1/4" cable -> 1/4" to TRRS 4 pole plus
I tried using this on my iphone 4 but it kept using the internal mic. I know this setup should work because I tested this out with an ipad 2 and itouch 3 and they both worked perfectly. I thought maybe the iphone jack was damaged but then i plugged in a apple earbud that had a mic on it and it worked. What could be the problem? Physical or software?
Very nice
It could be that the microphone impedance is too low.
- Why don't my iPhone headphones with mic work with my Mac? When I plug my headphones in, they work fine. The remote works too. I just can't get the mic to work. System Preferences doesn't detect them, and I can't set them up with Audio MIDI Setup. They work perfectly on my iPhone, but not my Mac. I know they work with Mac's, because I have seen people state on the Apple website that they do. I need help! MacBook Pro 13 inch (Early 2011) Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4
- Suggest me a Camera with external mic input and Flip screen with in affordable price I want to do travel vlog on my own, like with the help of tripod so I want to see my self while vlogging and I want there to be external mic input so that Audio quality should be rich. Please suggest. Apart from that tell me iPhone 6s+ is better for that work or I should buy a camera.
- My external mic isn't working? Someone So I just received my external mic for my Iphone, it has the end of like an aux cord so it fits in my phone and I don't need an adapter. But when I tested it, sound only recorded from the built in microphone and not the external mic. The phone seems to be recognizing it as headphones instead of a mic, is there a setting I need to change?!
- Mic on iPhone 4 not working? I have the iPhone 4 running the latest iOS. I can't talk, because the other person can't hear me. I can record voice memos, it comes out blank. But I can record my voice using the video recorder. It's a used iPhone, but the last time the mic didn't work was over a month ago.
