Thanks, that makes sense to me - that's for the explanation.
I have a mono headset with mic, intended for an IP phone and that uses
a stereo plug, although I hadn't noticed. It's a nice lightweight
headset too, shame its only a mono earpiece.

David,
No, I believe it is because most of the computer mics use a stereo
plug. A mono jack would short out the ring and cause some mics to
not work properly.
Using a stereo jack for mono signals is usually a good idea,
particularly if one does not know what can be placed on the ring
contact.

is this just because it's easier to stock just stereo sockets?
The mic plug on my Heil K2 proset is mono. And it work just fine.
