Bad sound quality of 3.5mm headphone with mic on laptop
- by Isaac
I have a set of headphones that have a built-in mic for hands-free calling.
They just work great on my Sony Ericsson Cedar cellphone.
The problem is that when I connect headphone to my Dell N5010 laptop to listen to music, the quality is horrible, with very weak or no vocals.
They funny part is when I hold down the talk button on the mic (headphone mic), at which point it sounds great, but goes back to bad quality as soon as I release talk button. Also, when I take out the jack a little, at some point, the sound is great but I have to hold the jack there.
I looked for any configuration on the sound card driver but find nothing.
Besides using a glue to hold down the talk button of mic :), is there any other solution?
