The Raspberry PI only has audio output.  You need an external sound device to get the audio signal into the PI.  It's likely that any cheeeep-o Amazon USB audio device will be discovered by the Linux kernel, no drivers needed.  I have one of these ripped apart and soldered directly to an HT for packet work, and it does fine under Debian.\r\n\r\nedit - wrong link*\r\n\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/external-Adapter-Windows-Microphone-SD-CM-UAUD/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1484950528\u0026amp;sr=8-1\u0026amp;keywords=SYBA+external+USB+Stereo+Sound+Adapter+for+Windows%2C+Mac%2C+Linux+Extra+Audio+Source+with+Microphone+SD-CM-UAUD","subreddit_name":"amateurradio","author":"feed_me_tecate"},{"body":"I plugged a generic USB sound card -- [like the Syba model here](https://www.amazon.com/Syba-external-Adapter-Windows-C-Media/dp/B001MSS6CS/) -- into the back of my older model Shield and was pleased to see that the menu clicks were coming out of the headphones, now!\r\n\r\nThere didn't seem to be any notifications, and I'm not sure you could change the routing back without unplugging it, but... at the very least, a generic USB to 3.5mm adapter appears to work.","subreddit_name":"ShieldAndroidTV","author":"mdwyer"},{"body":"Any cheap one on Amazon will do. One of my friends got this one and uses it with the ModMic to sound much better than even plugging it into the Xonar. You can keep using the Xonar for audio but use this adapter just for the mic.\r\n\r\nSyba SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter, C-Media Chipset, RoHS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_krMZvbKF3V6PX","subreddit_name":"headphones","author":"metal571"},{"body":"I don't think that this mic splitter cable incompatibility is a problem that can be solved with yet another analog wired headset.

We can’t know which one it is for sure without breaking down the problem though.\r\n\r\nGrounding - honestly, this one is thrown around a lot so I guess I will suggest it as well. However, you buy off the shelf parts. I doubt it’s grounding no more than it is for anyone else. Besides, the motherboard is grounded to the case by each and every one of its mounting screws. The power supply is as well. It’s UL listed, ain’t it? However, I used to have such dirty line voltage into the house that I could hear my PSU working over time on the noise and PF correction. \r\n\r\nMotherboard - my motherboard has terrible shielding when it comes to noise immunity. Not only that but I had to routinely digital-boost the microphone and still have it be quiet while unfortunately boosting the noise. The issue? A gain setting resistor for the input amp for the microphone was too small, I believe.  I never resolved the root cause because I didn’t want to desolder the wrong part. Instead, I bought a USB adapter for the front pc port. Audio was fixed and noise floor dropped considerably. Two birds with one stone. [USB adapter](https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B001MSS6CS/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_glt_fabc_MGN7YHMWQBHV42YPYAY1)\r\n\r\nSurge protector with lead battery - step sine equivalent of the line voltage can do terrible things to a PSU / MB combo. I have one, but I checked whether it was clean enough first.
