Microphone plug

[Marla]

Hi,
If I were to use an external microphon, where to plug it in?

[nicole.faerber]

Which device?
The Librem laptops (L13 and L15) currently sadly do not support external microphones, at least if you are looking for a 3.5mm jack mic. You can though of course attach something that has USB, which I would recommend for quality reasons anyway - there are USB headsets for example.

The new Librem Mini does support mic input on the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Cheers
nicole

You can buy a USB dongle that gives you speaker+microphone (either two separate standard 3.5mm connectors or combined into a TRRS connector, whichever you want). If you will only want to use the microphone then the two separate connectors may be more convenient. Alternatively, you can pay more money and get a decent USB microphone. Many USB webcams would have built-in audio capability, so you may not even need a separate external mic, provided that the audio quality is adequate.

My goal is to use the Purism 15" laptop for business content production purposes, and the closest thing I could fin…

Thanks for link @kieran , I will come back to solving this issue during the one week break at the end of this semester (4 weeks left). I will also give a procedure update, at that time, in my original thread regarding my VM use situation & Yeti USB Microphone.
