Curse you PetitModem!

PetitModem is hard to get working. Make sure to choose the slowest speed, and the two way communication mode (duplex if I remember). Also make sure the settings on the computer and smile basic sides match. Packing and unpacking files is also fairly cryptic. If you have the special cable try plugging mic into headphone and headphone into mic. If not turn things up obnoxiously loud and hope.

Yes, turn it up so you have to leave the room hahaha

Okay cool, I will have to try the one way (Simplex) because I can not get the two way to work for the life of me (ARQ). But if it doesn't pick it all up through Simplex can I run the "simple " again to fill in the missing parts or must it be a new transfer?

I have an AUX cable splitter but I'm guessing one of my cords are faulty because the bar just sits like in the screenshot above when I use ARQ.

Does your aux splitter have 3 segmented pieces of metal or 4 segmented pieces of metal on the male end of the connector?

I just learned of this today Ju, but even so the splitter and cords all have 2 bands (3 segments). My splitter though, does not specify mic/headset in but I read it should still work just with interference if the wires are crossed. I am going to order all new parts (with labels) today and hope that works.

I appreciate all the help and feedback from everyone! I hope to have something produced very soon! I am also trying to understand the Raycaster Calc84manic created.

:( for it to detect the microphone the male end needs 3 bands and 4 metal segments.

I see! Only the splitter needs to be 3 segments or the auxiliary cords need to be 3 as well?

The splitter. As far as I understand one metal band is power/neutral?, one is left ear and one is right ear. If you have the mythical fourth band that's the mic.

Thanks a lot man, you are awesome!

Okay, got the correct splitter (4 segments) the only problem is it doing the same thing! I connected mic to speaker\speaker to mic. Does PetitModem automatically turn on the PC mic or must I do that?

You may have to look in your audio settings to make sure your microphone is activated.

Okay thanks for all the help, I think I have exhausted all of my options. Hopefully I will have some images posted here soon, but for now it's time to tinker with the damn settings!

This is where the miiverses strict rules really suck. I'm sure we could solve this in 10 minutes if we were allowed to link

I know what you mean. Well, thanks to your help step 1 is complete!
