Yesir, different beasts. You MIGHT be able to find a little splitter widget that takes the single thing from your phone headset and turns it into two plugs for your sound card. John W.

Headset with two jacks. Makes sense. Al my headsets have one jack but they're for the telephone.

My headset has two jacks, that's what was confusing me. I can't see how it would work with only one connection.

My sound card has three jacks (with somewhat obscure icons on them). Does one of them integrate the input and output in one?

Doesn't work any other way... Unless I missed something :-) The basic soundcard on the new HPs at work has line in and line out, so I'd imagine most would have this feature.

I have separate jacks for speakers and mic. Do I need a different sound card?

Listening to the sound to speakers and speaking into a mike will cause VERY annoying feedback!! I do Skype with one client occasionally and he does not have a headset, and I can tell you that it is distracting almost to the point of unusable. You will speak and then hear yourself about 1/2 second later. For some reason it causes the brain to go spastic and makes it very difficult to talk. OK, maybe my brain is just spastic but take my word for it, don't do that. John W.

Would the lowest broadband handle it? Susan H. Any camera will do? I see some pretty inexpensive at Fry's. _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com No virus found in this incoming message.
