Studio Condenser Microphone issue? - Off-topic

I own a behringer C1 studio condenser, I also own a Phantom power supply.
I have a XLR female that plugs into the Microphone with a male ending that goes into the phantom power supply.
I also have a Female XLR to a quarter jack cable, the Female XLR goes into the other end of the phantom power supply and the quarter jack I put a 3.5 mm jack adapter on the end to plug into my computer.
It picks up the mic and the sound.BUT the playback of the recorded sound is very quiet and makes my voice sound high pitched.
If someone would PLEASE help me rectify this, I would be very very grateful!
I Need this working to help push my Youtube channel Android Insanity increase in quality.

[Q] Earphones Adjusting Volume Automatically/Activating Speech Options

I just recently purchased some new earphones (Sennheiser IE7) and when I plug these into my HD7, they randomly activate the speech recognition options (even though I have disabled this in the settings), adjust the volume and pause Zune playback.
Cheaper earphones don't do this when plugged into the phone and nor does a Bluetooth headset, it only seems to happen with these particular earphones.
Has anyone experienced this with other head/earphones or knows of a way to stop this kind of thing happening?
Thanks in advance.
I have experienced this also. When I use a male to male 3.5mm cable to my receiver the phone acts as if the -vol button is held down. This does not happen when I use a really cheap sony behind the head style earphone or the buds that came with it.
My guess is that its caused by the spacing on the connector (you know, between the little rings).
Try a bunch of earphones. If you're desperate, you could try splicing the connector of an earphone that works with the earphones you want to use. Otherwise I would say its not worth it; the audio components in the HD7 don't seem to have great quality anyway. I had a razr2 and the sound quality was better than the soundblaster in my computer.

Audio Out from Main Connector

I believe that there is audio available from pins 27 & 28 of the main connector but you have to place a resistor between other pins to get it to work.
Does anyone know how to go about this?
And is the audio at full level to drive headphones or is it low level?
And do the internal speakers get turned off when the main connector is used?
Any help would be appreciated.
I don't have one yet but the video cable (rca not hdmi cable) should output sound, I think it would be "low"volume tho
I have the rca tv out cable. What exactly do you need to know?
While.it is plugged in, speakers turn off and out put volume is controlled by volume button.

I have read in previous posts that connecting directly to pins 27 & 28 wont give you any audio out. Apparantly you have to put a resister between other pins to tell the Tab to output audio. This is what I'm not sure about. I have just ordered some plugs to do some testing from kineteka.com.
I want to make a lead that will charge the Tab & give me high level audio out.
I recently purchased an 30pin to RCA adaptor. Unfortunately it seems like my ROM (Paranoid Android 2.20) doesn't support it as it reboots the moment i connect it. Which ROM have you guys successfully used to for the RCA connector?

[Q] Mic muted when audio jack in use

Anyone else noticed that the mic is muted whenever you plug something in the audio jack? This means if you are plugging your phone to the aux port in your car, you can't make/receive calls unless you unplug it. On the focus it worked fine. You can test it by starting a call, then plugging anything to the jack - mic is muted right away. Couldn't find any settings to override this either.
I don't have that issue. I plug my phone into the aux port all the time and it works fine.
Yep

I have the same issue. Was great to have a conversation while plugged into the car audio with the Focus. Now we're limited to the speakerphone, which just isn't loud enough to be useful. Maybe when the Diagnostics app gets mapped out better we'll find a setting...
Probably gonna buy a cheap headset, cut off the ear buds and splice the wires to a cable with a 3.5mm jack.
It would make sense for the internal mic to be shut off when a headset cable is plugged in, since the working assumption (I guess) would be that there is a mic on the headset taking over. It's most likely a 'mechanical' shutoff in the jack itself, with no 'checking' to actually see if there is a mic connected on the cable or not.
The issue is, the old focus, the Titan, and about all other cell phones don't do this. They allow the internal mic to work while using the 3.5mm jack.

FIIO LU2 Adapter

I picked up the LU2, and I must say, I was deeply disappointed. It reduces the sound quality dramatically. Any high pitch noise just comes out as a screech. It doesn't always stay connected. It was just bad.
If anyone was unfortunate enough to buy this, some helpful tips:
If you have a three button headset, grab some electric tape, and keep the middle button pressed down. This will enable the headphones to work, but not the mic. It seems to work fine with one button headphones, including mic. If the music plays out of the loud speaker despite the headphones being plugged in, it usually suffices to just twist the headphones into the adapter. If it still doesn't work, unplug the headphones and replug them.
Despite all that, the thing worked. If you look at the 3.5" plug, it is made of four rings. One ring is the left speaker, one ring is the right speaker, one ring is the mic, and one ring is controls. The Xperia PLAY headphone jack expects the mic and control rings to be the reverse spot, hence the need for the stupid adapter. I've been looking for alternatives, and just picked one up on ebay. I'll see if that fairs any better.

Audio output override

Hi I have a Nexus 6 and I got a little bit of water damage in the headphone jack that makes the phone think headphones are plugged in all the time. Is there anyway I could route the audio through the speakers or turn off the headphone jack all together? BTW I'm running the Android N preview. Thanks!
