If the C3000 uses the same setup as the earlier devices, a mobile-phone headset should work.  There's a thread under the CXXX devices that describes this, if I recall correctly.

As far as I'm aware the audio out port, can act either as a stereo audio out or as a mono audio out and microphone in.

i searched the internet about the hardware. it worked ,any microphone works when connected to audio port, though quality is not very good.

You can even use the left earpiece of your headphones as a microphone if you don't have one.

Works okay, but I get popping p's with the headphone as mic

Has anyone tried using a microphone like the Electrovoice 635A with an XLR to 3.5mm adapter with their C1000 or C3x00? I'd like to create a field recording device that would record MP3 (probably hvve to use comprec/shine).

I haven't used that config. but I think you will need to use a pre-amp, otherwise the dynamics would sound like a potato. Mind that the audio in is monoaural and it's not easy to record directly to Mp3 without paying for dedicated commercial software.

What does a potato sound like?

Has anyone succesfully used a Bluetooth Headset on a Zaurus or are they not supported?

You know, a USB sound card might work (or a USB headset).  Might have to compile ALSA modules though.

The other possibility (still needing alsa) would be Core Sounds PDAudio CF card. This has alsa drivers already and is a cf card! So none of the potential problems of latency, etc of a usb sound card.

Check out the PDAudio system at [a href=\"http://www.core-sound.com/default.php]Core Sound PDAudio[/url]
