Methods and devices for operating an audio processing integrated circuit to record an audio signal via a headphone port
First Claim
1. A method of recording a signal from a headphone, comprising:
- a client terminal automatically instructing that an audio processing integrated circuit of said client terminal switch from;
(i) having no electrical resistance between an electrical ground of said client terminal and an electrical ground of at least one electro-acoustic output transducer of a headphone, to(ii) connecting an electrical resistance component between the electrical ground of said client terminal and the electrical ground of the at least one electro-acoustic output transducer of the headphone;
instructing said audio processing integrated circuit of said client terminal to accept as microphone input a signal from said at least one electro-acoustic output transducer of said headphone; and
recording a signal from said at least one electro-acoustic output transducer of said headphone using said audio processing integrated circuit of said client terminal.
