Mic jack
Yesterday I asked a question about how to make an audio CD, and I got a pretty good answer there. But now where is the mic jack? Is it the same thing as the headphone jack? Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
in the back of your computer there are different round ports with different collors
the green are for the speakers
pink are for the mic
hope this helped

It's the same size as the headphone jack, but it's not the headphone jack. It will be around there and you should see a little impression or a picture that looks like a mic next to the plug.

The headphone jack is for headphones, the Microphone jack is for a microphone... They are definitely different, although it usually doesn't do damage getting them mixed up, just nothing will work. Usually, you'll get MIC or a pic of an "ice-cream cone" microphone on the microphone jack. If you don't get any symbols, the headphone jack should be green.
Depending on how old your stuff is, you might not have a microphone jack. In this case I think you can get "Serial port" microphones, but if you get one it will only work in your computer. If you've got no microphone jack (your computer would have to be more than 4 yrs old) then phone a computer store and they'll sort you out.
Oh, just a question of my own. Were you going to be singing for this audio cd? Or are you trying to record from tape or some other media onto a CD?
If you're trying to transpose, a MIC jack isn't really what you need (I'm not sure it would work) you'd want an "audio in" jack, which is denoted by a hollow circle, with two solid triangles pointing to the centre from the left and right sides.
Anything more specific, you can private question me if you like.

No, the mic jack is different. Well, they normally LOOK exactly the same, because they're almost always the same size; that's why you can plug a headphone into a mic jack. But the headphone jack puts a signal *out*, and the microphone jack puts a signal *in*.
Normally there's a little icon next to each jack showing what it does - headphones for the headphone, and a microphone for the mike.
If your system is placed so that it's hard to take an up-close look at the jacks, you may need to get a flashlight or move it into a more open area. That's what I do. :D
