Has anyone had any success using the THETA X with an external wired microphone?
I tried the following adapter and could not get the camera to switch to the external microphone with a Google USB-C to audio adapter (purchased from Google) . Is there a setting I can use to switch it over?
If there is any success, please post your setup.
hi, Craig,
I just ordered another USB microphone for testing with Z1 mainly, but I will see to try on X too once I get there. In theory it could be a permission issue too, or incompatible hardware…
will come back to you early next week with some results and share here!
@craig,
have you tried to put into jack a headphone to listen instead of microphone? Are you sure that this cable is for microphones?
thanks!
I was thinking about something like this: https://www.alza.hu/vention-type-c-to-dual-type-c-audio-adapter-with-power-supply-01m-black-metal-type-d6939570.htm Also still if it works, it could be important to be able to charge while it’s plugged in to a Theta. There were similar experiments on Theta V, isn’t it in past? does Y cable work with Z1 or X? You were using one I think for ethernet connection in past… So In theory that could solve the problem of charging and using microphone at the same time.
This next one seems even better: Amazon.com
I think the key is here compatibility with samsung. Most of USB-C → 3.5mm audio jack adapters are stating that “not compatible with samsung phones”, so if one states that it is, I would like to try on X or Z1…
Actually, I don’t think the cable is for microphones. I believe it was made for headsets.
I remember using the THETA with external microphones and speakers using plug-ins. I don’t recall it working with a USB adapter plugged into the camera and not using a plug-in. Though, I guess in your use case, you’re using a plug-in.
I notice that the osc/state command lists the _currentMicrophone. However, the _microphone option doesn’t appear to support the THETA X.
Does not seem to work to set microphone to external.
