Using the headphone jack gives me the same sort of problem I had when

[]
OTOH, plugging headphones into the headphone jack works just fine. So
is there a problem with the headphone jack or not?

The phone knows what is plugged into the jack, and for some reason it
doesn't like the AUX cable (or what is at the other end) even though
it's happy with the headphones.

This seems to mean I have go back to making bluetooth work. It worked


Or, use a splitter with real headphones (or a resistive load) on the
other arm, so the 'phone _does_ think it is driving 'phones.


Well, believe it or not, even though I'm traveling, had to take a plane,
I actually brought a splitter with me. I didnt' know why, I can't even
remember why I got the thing in the first place.

And it worked!! Well.

Using spare earbuds.

It worked with the PC. I'll try it in the car radio later.

So explain this to me. Don't most people just connect their phone to
the PC or car radio with a simple cable. They don't need a splitter or
earbuds.



(There may be some useful adjustments. Even in win7, in the Sound
window, the Recordig tab, if you right click the microphone jack in use,
and click on Properties, you get Microphone Properties, which has 4
tabs.
General, which identifies which jack it refers to. It says Right
Panel 3.5 mm jack.
Listen, which has a checkbox, Listen to this device, which was not
checked a couple days ago but early on in my reading something said to
check it. It DOES NOT WORK without the check mark. I think this makes
the sound from the mike goes straight to the speakers, or the amplifier,
instead of having to go through a program. Though the label makes that
sound unlikely.
Levels, which allows me to adjust the microphone level so it goes
well with the "mail has arrived" sound etc. And a Microphone Boost
slider which goes in 10db steps. And,
Advanced, which says Select the sample rate and bit depth to be used
when running in shared mode. I don't think I'm in shared mode ???? and
I don't know who I would be sharing what with. So I suppose this
setting does nothing for me???? But it lets one set 16 bit or 24 bit (I
have know idea which I want, but it's working well now with 16-bit,
44100Hz, CD quality.) And it has 6 possible frequencies for 16 bit,
44100 CD quality, 48000 DVD quality and 88200, 96000, 176400, and
192000 which are all studio quality.

Yesterday it reconnected easily.




I guess the first time is the
hardest.

I think that's for other newsgroups ... (-:


My mother doesn't allow me to read those other newsgroups.
