TIP, RING,RING, Sleeve plug

Hi to the group

I had my computer go bad and replaced it this week end. I have everything working except my old computer had separate AF and MIC jacks. My new computer has a combined AF/MIC jack. I need to find that kind of plug so I can build an adaptor but I don't even know what it is called and where to get one. I would hope it is something Radio Shack sells as that is the only place I can get parts without paying big shipping charges.

73 and thanks for your help.

You probably want this adapter:http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12970495
But it is hard to tell without knowing what type of new computer you got.

Re: TIP, RING,RING, Sleeve plug

Yes, it can be a bit tricky since the HP laptop I
have is *not* wired the way the 4-conductor iPhone
mic jack is wired, but instead is wired as shown
here

Another approach is to use a usb sound card, like
the Griffin iMic.

At least HP had sense enough t use the 4 conductor 3.5mm plug the
right way and make the sleeve ground/common rather than insulate it
from the chassis and use the second ring as common!

Or get radio control (CAT), PTT, CW, FSK, and sound card all in one
USB connected box like the microHAM USB Interface III or DigiKeyer II.

Hi to the group

MY NEW 17 INCH HP LAPTOP AUDIO JACK

TIP IS RIGHT CHANNEL SPKR
RING 1 IS LEFT CHANNEL SPKR
RING 2 IS GROUND
SLEVE IS HOT MIC

This has been a long week. Last week my 17 inch Toshiba lap top started random but serious failures. I reloaded it several times and even bought a new copy of Windows 8.1 but it failed again. I bought a new low priced 17 inch HP laptop from Best Buy, now have it fully loaded and so far it has been reliable. This morning I got the AF/MIC adaptor I home brewed to work. It is wired the same as the APPLE IPAD so the tip and first ring are speaker audio. The second ring is ground and the sleeve is the MICROPHONE hot lead. I had to home brew this as I could not find an adaptor that would fit my station layout. Parts were a problem to get out here in North Dakota so I ended up with $25 in parts and because I thought the adaptor was wired in the more sensible order of tip-ring-ring-gound I ended up reworking it many times. Again at least on my HP Laptop it is Tip and 1st ring for the speakers, second ring is ground and the sleeve is the hot side of the mic.

I hope this information helps someone else avoid the problems I had..
