Re: Hero 5 Mic Adapter Not Working
[ New ]ok you call the pro 3.5mm Mic adapter just promic - I read your message again and it made more sense.
if I plug in the promic and hit record it does record audio through the gopro interal mic on the camera.
as soon as I plug in the mic itself - nothing.
I think what you are saying that is that it does appear to be the promic that is at fault
correct?

Re: Hero 5 Mic Adapter Not Working
[ New ]A general set up will be this LIke you said. Plug Mic to adapter, adapter to camera. turn mode on, and record.
You said you are using a 4 pin Mic Kit Either the 4 pin to 3 pin cable or Mic adapter is the issue.
I tested using a earpeice, so it can be like said faulty adapter.

Re: Hero 5 Mic Adapter Not Working
[ New ]Not sure why a 4 pin to 3 pin cable stop the mic from working,
For me I would hack the mic and head set. but I rather have a professional cable working.
glad we eleminated it to be the cable and not the gopro mic adapter?

Re: Hero 5 Mic Adapter Not Working
[ New ]I already ordered a replacement for the audio adapter
(promic). I think it may be the adapter. Negotiating now with what to do with the purple panda people - customer service with them is highly rated

Re: Hero 5 Mic Adapter Not Working
[ New ]I found the solution - I replaced the promic with a new one and that fixed it. I have seen that your use of headphones being plugged into the promic was a good test to try but I kept getting it to work sometimes and not always. It was, for me, a defective promic.
Promic = GoPro Microphone Adapter
