Completely agree re ext USB audio. No specific endorsement of this model, just an example that there are many high quality (I'd call this "prosumer") USB interfaces for remarkably low prices. Mackie is a well respected pro audio company & this interface on sale $69. Might have to get or make

TRRS is the four-contact plug, named for tip/ring/ring/sleeve. OMTP and CTIA are ways to wire that plug for audio. Thanks for the info, I didn’t know about the wiring differences. This page does a good job of explaining them.

FWIW ... I do a lot of JT65/JT9/FT8 digital, and I would definitely suggest getting an external USB soundcard for such work. 1. It eliminates the probably of transmitting any OS sounds/beeps/alarms along with your digital audio. 2. Provides good isolation capabilities 3. While I'm assuming

I read the Q about this -- it turns out there are several different standards which look the same externally. This one is OMTP; for a Mac, you need CTIA. They differ in the mic and ground connection. There is also TRRS. I don't know what that one is. So don't just buy one of these adapters

Jorge, With an adapter, it makes little difference. But consider an external USB soundcard for your digital modes. They can be purchased inexpensively, and as long as you set the internal soundcard to be default, you do not have to worry about transmitting the sounds produced by the operating
