How can I plug in both a microphone and speaker to a laptop with a single 3.5 mm jack?
My dad has a Lenovo Y700 laptop with only one 3.5 mm jack (green arrow in pic). He uses this laptop for video calls.
He must use the single jack for speakers, because it is impossible to hear people clearly with the laptop's own, shoddy speakers. That means for a microphone, he must use the laptop's builtin mic, which produces terrible audio quality for the other person.
He has Zalman ZM-MIC1, but how can he plug in both this mic, and the speaker?
I am hoping to avoid buying additional microphones, because we already have 5 spare standalone microphones and wish to save money.
