Hey, noob here, but not un-technical. I have a MacBook Pro, with the single TRRS input, and I'm trying to set up an ideal situation where I have a lav mic but can hear the video conference conversation or other audio.
I bought a Rode smartlav+ (TRRS), which seems to do a nice job with audio in, but using it in the headset in hijacks the audio out and I can't play audio, say, through the built-in speakers.
I think I have a couple of options, but wanted to see if anyone else had solved this problem. I think I can:
1) use the Rode Lav and a USB adapter to get audio out,
2) get a different TRS Lav (instead of TRRS) and use a mic/headphone splitter with the headphones out to my speakers, since the Rode TRRS won't work with the splitter
3) maybe get a TRS Lav and use that in the headset port and the internal speakers would work?
This should be so much easier than it is.
