What are the 2020 MacMini 3.5mm port specifications?

I want to put a gaming headset into that port so I can use a headset with microphone on my zoom calls. Will that port accept TRRS adapter and recognize the microphone ring?

Will the MacOS Monterey allow me to put that headset/mic into an adapter like this?

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise.

Using Rode Lavalier Go with Macbook (M1) pro Hello All, I just bought Lavalier Go and SC6 adapter to use them with my macbook (M1) pro. However mac doesnt see Lavalier as a microphone. I tried playing with sound settings. But i couldnt make it work. (I tried without the sc6 and mac doesnt see the mic as external mic, only as external headphones in the output sound section.) Here is the connection: Do you guys know what might be the problem? It is my first time buying a lavalier mic so I dont know the requirements.

Does the 3.5mm to USB-C adapter support TRRS? Is it possible to connect a TRRS headset to a Macbook using Apple's USB-C adapter (instead of via the 3.5mm port on the Macbook)? I'm getting a lot of 'noise' in the signal at the moment in calls, which both I and the person at the other end of the line can hear. With the same headset on iPhone (connected via Apple's 3.5mm to Lightning adapter) there is no 'noise' at all and the mic and headphones work perfectly, so I assume it would work via USB-C on the Macbook too? The headset is a Koss Porta Pro Communication Headset. The mic quality far surpasses any USB or Bluetooth headset I'm aware of, so I'd rather solve this jack problem than to switch to a USB headset.

The 2020 M1 Mac Mini has a single TRRS port.

What gaming headset?

Does it have a single TRRS jack or separate plugs for headphone and mic?

Weather or not an aftermarket TRRS headsets will work, requires some testing.

If your gaming headset has dual jacks, then either of the above adapters that you have above should word.
