The apple products and the new hp computers do this.
You need a cable the breaks up in to an ear phone stereo jack and a mic
jack.
You'l find this at amazon in the apple accessories section. Belcon and Cmedia make them. The cable has 4 connectoion. tip two rings and a sleeve. The jacks are a stereo earphone and a microphone jack. About $3 or 4 dolars. Also radio shack sels an adapter that does the same thing. Good luck.-----Original Message----- From: Paul Hunt

It then adjusts to your choice. If you want to use both a microphone and a headset at the same time, then you are best off using a USB mic.

I have been looking on amazon for a usb mike, can't find a reasonable priced one under £10, anyone got any ideas please, most of them come with webcams but there is one built in.
