The PC and cell-phone world saw the appeal of this and many manufacturers are now delivering Apple compatible TRRS 4-Pole headsets with mic that use a single 4-pole plug that work the same with either Mac's or PC's.Many older Macs used 'Microphone Level' rather than 'Line Level' input voltages in their audio jacks. The standard 1/8th inch plug looked the same, but many PC analog headsets with microphones with 2 separate plugs, one for it's built-in mic simply did not work on a Macintosh. They failed to deliver adequate volatge to the audio in port for the microphone to produce an audible level of sound.

Mono and stereo headsets compatible with Mac have been a bit problematic historically. For a long time Apple used different line voltage standards for 1/8' plug microphones that fractured the Analog headset market into those that were PC compatible and others that were Mac compatible.

Hi, I just bought a new Macbookpro OX 10.4.10 and have discovered that my Plantronics mic (mic with headset) doesn't work in either USB port. In the pref/audio/input, Plantronics appears as normal and is selected and the headphones works normal but not the mic. Simply no input in the blue bars input meter. Ok, i go back to my older Powerbook and plug in the headset/mic. Works perfect. Switch to new Mac USB and nothing. I change pref to internal mic and that works. I test the Mac's internal line in port and that works. My USB ports work with all other devices I'v tried, mouse, camera, headphones etc, but not the mic. Since the mic works with the Powerbook then there must be something wrong with the new Macbookpro's USB. Can anyone help? ..I went to Plantronics website and all they say is Mac doesn't need a driver, so I'm stuck? Help?

Powerbook/OS 10.3.9, Mac OS X (10.3.9)
