Can I use a splitter with Mic-Lock SoundPass to attach a mic and a speaker?Updated a month ago
No. A splitter does not let you use a microphone with any Mic-Lock product, including SoundPass.
Here is why. The Mic-Lock physically blocks the microphone signal from reaching your device. A splitter plugs in after the Mic-Lock, so it has no signal to split. The mic path is already cut upstream.
What does work with a splitter on SoundPass:
A 3.5 mm speaker. Audio output passes through the SoundPass jack normally.
A second pair of headphones for shared listening.
What will not work, no matter what you plug into the splitter:
A microphone of any kind. The mic input is blocked by design.
A headset mic. Output audio plays, but the mic stays off.
This is how the product is supposed to behave. Mic-Lock exists to guarantee that no microphone signal can ever reach your device while it is plugged in.
If you need to use a mic, unplug the Mic-Lock. There is no workaround that keeps the Mic-Lock in line and lets a mic function.
