Cap'n Jack
Final Approach
I have to do lots of zoom meetings now. People were complaining they couldn't hear me. Maybe that's because I put a life-size cardboard picture of myself in front of the computer to sit in the meetings while I do something productive.
Actually, I had a cheap blue tooth headset. I also recall that I have a headset that works well- ATC and I hear one another well. For about maybe $8 in parts, I made the converter box. A couple of jacks for the headset, a couple of phono jacks, a 470 Ohm resistor, a couple of 22 uF capacitors, and a 9 V battery clip stuffed into a $0.88 WalMart box. It seems to work well, I heard the message I sent to Whats App clearly, and the computer audio works well. I can use it to test the headset at home, too. Windows has some speaker and microphone tests built in.
Cheaper than Sporty's too. https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/g...VT77ACh3tkQOkEAQYASABEgLkd_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Thanks to @weirdjim for some hints
