I'll try to remember to come back here to update once we get that splitter ( ), to let you know if it works :-)ДЄlso, in the meantime, we are achieving microphone input into the MBP using an old Griffin 'iMic' USB microphone adapter.Reasons why MacвЂ™s Microphone stopped working Supposedly, one female port will provide microphone input, and the other female port will provide headphone/speaker output.ДЇrom everything I've read and researched, I'm pretty sure this will be what's needed to get microphone in and audio out from the one 'headphone' labeled 3.5mm port on the MBP. I have ordered a splitter (analog, known as 'auxiliary' and 'audio' splitter), that has one 3.5mm male TSSR plug on one end, and 2 female 3.5 female ports (unknown if TSR or TSSR) on the other end. When I plug a microphone's 3.5mm TSR plug (TWO black stripes alternating with THREE shiny metal bands) into that headphone port, the MBP does not recognize or receive the microphone's signal/audio.Д«UT, when I plug in a headset (combined speaker and microphone) that has a 3.5mm male TSSR plug (THREE black stripes alternating with FOUR shiny metal bands), the MBP DOES recognize and receive the microphone's signal/audio.

My mid-2012 MacBook Pro ('MBP') does NOT have a port labeled for microphone, but it DOES have a 3.5mm (1/8') port labeled with a Headphone (not headset) icon. I found stores in Europe (for about в‚¬10), but sure you can find it where you are. this headset splitter adapter breaks the audio port out into two distinct ports - one that can be used for a microphone input connection, and the other for connecting external (output) speakers. Get the 3.5mm 4 Position to 2x 3 Position 3.5mm Headset Splitter Adapter - M/F OK, what now? Lets assume you insist on using your microphone!!! The fourth pin (ring) is for the microphone ! The microphone or headset in question must be of the three-ring variety, just like AppleвЂ™s headsets. Looking under the hood of Apple 'About this Mac' you get the answer (it says it does support it). Here is the how: The plug is like the headphone port on iOS devices, this jack supports audio input as well as output-with as described in Apple specification.

Since there are multiple options to connect a microphone lets take a look.ДЎ - For stand alone microphone with cable you could use a USB connector type or Audio to USB converter.Дў- You could use a BlueTooth type microphone/Headset.ДЈ - And last not least, you could actually use your Headphone (as marked) the 1/8 inch plug, but NOT with standard audio plug. What they do say is you can use the Apple iPhone headset with microphone! Now that is a Hint ! It looks like Apple has redesigned it to be a multifunction plug, without telling us in plain English. In your specific case, it is possible to use external microphone on MacBook pro and Air 2012 Models. All PowerBook and MacBook models support analog audio in via the headphone jack.
