a microphone in a pinch
Created | Updated Jan 29, 2007
From time to time people may discover that they wish to chat on the computer, but don't have a microphone to do so. A suitable substitue would be to use a pair of headphones and plug it into the microphone jack. This arrangement will work, but probably not as well as having a regular microphone. To compensate for this one can boost the microphone volume in the operating system.
