Do you own a separate mic? It may be possible to find or make an adapter that plugs into the combo jack that lets you plug in cheap powered speakers plus a separate mic or even your headset. | |

| Nov 29, 2018 at 8:41 | comment | added | reneandy | @fixer1234 I've contacted the manufacturer's customer care and they told me that it doesn't have a mechanical switch and they can't help me much about this. Is it possible to at least trick my audio driver to recognize only the microphone and not the microphone and headset combo? | |

Get the circuit diagram (service manual), or trace the wiring yourself. 3. Acquire the tools. 4. Become a skilled service technician. 5. Get training in electronics design. 6. Redesign the laptop circuitry to do what you want. 7. Acquire programming skills. 8. Redesign the audio driver software. 9. Make all of the changes to your system. Ensure that the normal updates don't revert your driver changes. 10. See if it works. If not, repeat steps as needed until success. | |
