Greetings and Salutations,

How can I enable the analog microphone port on this unit?

- Attempting to use an Arctis Steelseries 3 Headset via the analog connection.

- Enabled via Settings -> 4. Accessories -> Wideband enabled -> [ON]

- Headphones work with speakerphone button

- Mic does not work

- There is no similar "Wideband Enabled" setting for the mic.

- Three key-values, as follows
-- Name: Microphone

-- Device type: Peripheral

-- Configured: Yes

How can I enable both the Headphones and Microphone?

The headset itself has no issues. It works on both my home computer and iPhone.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Keith :^)

I got it.

I was using a splitter, to split out the microphone and headphone connection.

I removed the splitter, and just plugged the 3.5mm combined jack into the headset port.

It then worked with the speakerphone button.
