Most stereo audio plugs have 3 connections: tip, ring, and sleeve (TRS). Plugs that incorporate a microphone (like the iPhone) have 4: TRRS. Note that the Livescribe Echo’s <a href="https://us.livescribe.com/products/livescribe-3d-recording-headset" class="">proprietary recording headset</a> has 5 pins (TRRRS), and we don’t know how they use those connections.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">BTW, this came up in a Nov. 4, 2019 ATHEN thread ("Using Another Audio Source for LiveScribe Pens"), and we decided it would be a great project for a music or audio engineering student to pursue.</div><div class="">;-)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">However, if you use one of the newer Livescribe pens – Aegir (discontinued) or Symphony – they don’t have built-in microphones, so they record audio directly into the <a href="https://us.livescribe.com/pages/livescribe" class="">Livescribe+ app</a> using the mics on a Bluetooth-connected device (iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, PC). If the device running Livescribe+ is using an external mic or other audio source plugged in the mic input, Livescribe+ will link handwritten notes to recordings of that audio. (I tried this on an iPad – haven’t tried the other options.)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This ought to allow additional audio patching possibilities – e.g., using a virtual audio patch utility like <a href="https://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/" class="">Soundflower</a> (macOS) or <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/364369/how-to-record-your-pcs-audio-with-vb-cable/" class="">VB-Cable</a> (macOS, Windows) to route audio between Zoom and Livescribe+.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">- Shelley</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">
