Product: HP Spectre notebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Spectre Notebook has a earphone/mic logo and jack inlet at the back.

 

I can listen really well through earphones but I can't record using a Rode lapel mic. My voice is unitelligiable - impossible to understand.

 

The Rode mic works on every other device I have here: iphone, ipad and lenovo thinkpad but I cannot get it to work on the Spectre - I have spent 5 hours trying to work out what is wrong and I think there's no compatibility.

 

When I plug in the Rode, the Spectre doesn't appear to recognise it.

 

I'm sure others will have tried this. Does anyone know the answer please. TIA

Have you tried to use an headset ? On many machines, the headphones/microphone combo jack does NOT support standalone microphone.

 

Regards.

Thanks for your reply. I don’t have a headset with the right connection. I’m recording webinars so just need a mic - I don’t need to hear anyone. That’s why I bought the lapel mic. 

It seems this laptop is not compatible. 

Do you know what’s a good alternative personal mic that’ll work with it?
