Question about
Crave4iT

I can't find a converter that allows headphones with two jacks (mic/sound) to work with my macbook pro.

My 2011 MBP 13'' has one headphone jack, that according to the manual has both audio in and out. I want to use my gaming headset which has two jacks, one for audio in and one for mic out.

So my question for the community is:
Is there somewhere a converter/plug that allows these two jacks to become one, so my MBP will accept it?

Alright, I've found a couple of things for you. The less expensive route would be to use this: www.amazon.com­/Headset­-Buddy­-Smartphone­-Computer­-B...

It takes audio in and mic out and converts them to one plug. I cannot guarantee that this will work with the MBP, but many of the reviews for it (4.5 stars, by the way) suggest that it works great. Your other option is an audio in/mic out to USB converter: www.newegg.com­/Product­/Product.aspx­?Item­=N82E16829...

It's a little more expensive, but should work providing there are Mac drivers for it.
