I have a headset with a mic on it, and two different cables, green for audio, pink for mic. However in my laptop there is only a single audio socket, so I think I have to use a splitter. But I wonder if any splitter will work for this. For example this one looks like it is for using two speakers (not mic + speaker) , but I hope I am wrong.

So will this work for me? : http://www.vatanbilgisayar.com/headphone-splitter-35mm-cogaltici.html#galeri

Thanks for any help!

You suspect right that the stereo splitter you've linked will not work.

In your case you don't want a "splitter", you want a "joiner".

Dual 3-ring to single 4-ring: ie: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SP0WAQ

  • Splitters will have 2 visible rings on the tip, joiners will have 3. In the case of this answer, the 3 black rings around the tip. A little late to help at the time, but hopefully can help others in the future.
