How Can I Output My Headset Signal From My Laptop?

[ryevick]

I want to connect my headset with mic to my laptop then run that signal out of my laptop without having the signals of the mic and ear merge into one... running it into a cable similar to the one that input it into the laptop. Can this be done?

It would be best to know what type/brand of laptop and headset you are referring to.
What do you mean headset signal?

I have an ASUS G73. A headset signal is carrying two separate signals... the audio from the mic and the audio for the ear... just like a telephone... the signals are running along two separate lines within the headset cable and are still separate on the jack tip. Is it possible to run them through my laptop keeping them separated and output them separate onto a jack tip just like they came in?

Headset is mono with mic, computer is stereo with mic, so you need adapter.
I think this is what you want:  http://www.amazon.com/Phone-Headset-Buddy-Adapter-Converts/dp/B002NQV0N0

OK, it looks like that would get the signal into my laptop, how about exporting it out of my laptop... without blending the signals?

I don't understand what you mean by "exporting" & "blending".
On laptop, mic is input, speakers are output.  On headset, mic is output, earphone is input.

Technical Details
    * use your favorite phone headset with your PC computer
    * Compatible with any computer with 3.5mm jacks
    * Converts phone 2.5mm headset plug to dual mic/audio 3.5mm plugs
    * Use free internet phone programs like Skype, Messengers, & Voice
    * Adapter plugs into your computer's microphone and headphone jacks on your PC

I am wanting to process my signal real time and run it back out from my laptop... without blending (mixing the ear and mic signals together).

Pink is mic, green is ear.  Ear & mic signals and not mixed.

Out of your laptop and into what?  As CC has mentioned a couple of times, headset are designed to keep inputs and outputs separate.

not sure how many ways i can say it lol... i know those aren't mixed... i know what they are designed to do... i know they are going into my laptop... what i need IS:

after they are in my laptop... i want to get them out of my laptop... i want to get them out of my laptop still separated... is this possible?

I assume you understand input and output for the headset/mic going into your laptop. As stated already in this thread the basic process of having the device working or would work, however, are you asking for another or different way(existing) that you want to achieved for a purpose?

There is only one "input", the Microphone. THere is no other signal going into the laptop. Standard Audio goes out of the laptop into the headset, and microphone audio goes into the laptop from the headset. You say you understand this, but you then ask questions that a person who understands it wouldn't ask.

You say "once you have the signal in your laptop" there is only one signal- the mic signal. Any "blending" (heck any audio portrayal of that microphone audio at all) is done through software on the laptop. Once you have a "blended" (mixed) signal, you cannot magically unblend it, In fact, it takes extra effort just to combine the microphone input stream with the system sound.

Addiitonally, you requestion that these "separated" signals magically be send down a single Phono wire. That simply is not going to happen.

And if you want it to run through the laptop and come out onto two other phono plugs... what's the point of going through the laptop? Also, there is only one audio output, so that won't work anyway.

I should know better than to assume... mic is the only input, headphones the only output yes, but that doesn't mean there isn't some cheap usb interface available that could plug into my laptop and change all of that... it's not magic to keep signals separate or to put them back together... I didn't think I would have to explain the configuration of the jack on the end of a headset... have you ever plugged a headset into a cell phone? one connection... that's it... two things going on... two different directions... one jack... it's not magic... it might be easier to ask if there is a splitter available that would allow me to split those signals and only input the mic portion of the headset into the laptop and another connector/splitter that would allow me to take the headphone output from the laptop (which was the mic signal input from the headset) and plug it into a cable along with the headphone signal that bypassed the laptop and again have a two way signal just as it was to begin with that flow into one jack connector.

Can you just state exactly what your end objective is here?  Exactly what is the purpose of this exercise?

1. You want to used a Headphone and a Headset? 2 different sets.
2. While using the other as primary connection(either direct or with a special plug or adapter), You want another available port/adapter that would accomodate the 2nd connection...?
3. You want to used the mic of the headset( a headphone w/mic already) and connect a headphone(classic) as your audio output using another adapter? Or used them both simultaneously on your preferred activities such as gaming/voip or any applications ?
