Does that adaptor also have a separate microphone input? You can buy adaptors that split the microphone and earpiece contacts out to separate 3.5mm jacks which would allow you to then connect your single 4-pole jack headset to a conventional USB audio dongle. Some gaming headsets are supplied with such an adaptor. e.g. one Asus gaming headset I have is natively 4-pole 3.5mm for plugging into Apple devices, and a 4-pole 3.5mm to 2×3-pole 3.5mm adaptor cable for conventional sound cards. You can also buy the connectors and make such an adaptor yourself if you're handy with a soldering iron and want to avoid Russian Roulette with adaptors of questionable quality/utility or a long wait. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
