Yes, I think you're correct. I also think I may have muddled up the issue at hand. I'll look into what you've posted. My main goal was not to have to plug in and unplug either mic or headphones when making or receiving a call. Though for safety and privacy's sake maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to unplug the mic as I might leave it live and who knows what the person on the other end will catch. Will have to ponder on this a little more--new to this stuff.
