Does this device work with an external mic connected to via the audio jack? Are additional drivers required?

There is a built in mic, so the device doesn't need an external mic. This is the best webcam I've ever owned. The audio and video quality are excellent. No additional drivers needed.

It has a built-in microphone, but you can also opt to use whatever recording devices you have. For example, I found the mic quality of this camera to be awful, so I use the microphone with my Logitech gaming headset when talking to people.

Does the mic need phantom (external) power? If not, then if you hooked it up as a mic, (in contrast to aux input) it should work fine.

No, not that I see in the online manual, plus I don't see connectivity on the camera for an external mike.http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/4424086131/EN/contents/02/index.html

Yes it allows connection of an external microphone for special recording applications.

You will need an external audio device with an XLR input and phantom power. This is a standard microphone with a standard XLR connector, no USB connection.

It sure does. I use Audacity on an Asus Windows 8 laptop and have had no problems with it detecting the mic.

Yes it does, I have mine with an external microphone (I bought it separately)

Sorry but no. Like most similar recorders, plugging onto one of the connectors from an external source disables the built-in mics. To do what you are asking requires an external mixer.

no. the only way i know of to use an external mic with this camera is to sync some separately recorded audio using editing software (you can do this by looking at the visual image of the recorded sound). But for many purposes it would be much easier to just buy a camera that has a mic jack.

I did not test this as the mono audio was enough for me to not try them out longer. I suspect that it should as most mobile device use the second pickup ring for the mic with out tools. This device is built around the iOS devices though.

Yes. The mic for this headset has it's own audio jack, so simply leave it unplugged and plug in the external one instead.

A motherboard audio does not connect to this for the MIC. You must have a different audio board or one of those cheap MIC/Headset USB connectors, then for the same price, you will not need this adapter.

There is a built in condenser mic as well as a 3.5mm jack for an external mic if you wish to use that instead. From the manual: "You can also use commercially available microphones. Connect the external microphone to the MIC terminal. Use commercially available condenser microphones with their own power supply. You can connect almost any stereo microphone with a 3.5mm plug but audio levels may vary."

Yes it does. Theres an available plugin for the external microphone. I have not purchased the mic but it is definitely there.

Yeah have a modmic attached to mine. It works well. I have it on the opposite side as the main cable. No these so not come with a mic plug.

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

Yes, it has a 3.5 mm external mic jack. You will not be happy with the sound using this mic jack unless you use a preamp such as a Beachtek or Juicedlink.
