Does the Hololens come with a mic input and audio output?

  • @DavidKlineMS Thanks for sharing the link.

    I just checked it out and don't see anything for mic audio inputs. :neutral:

  • Are you looking to access the HoloLens mic and record something to playback through the speakers?

    Holograms 212 - Voice has a section that briefly walks through recording a message.

  • @AR123,
    Under Sensors, the doc says "4 microphones".

    Thanks!

    sorta, I'm thinking more about setting up a microphone for potential use in pro audio studios.

  • Hey @AR123, did you ever find a solution for this?

    @AR123,

    Yes, HoloLens has four microphones, a set of speakers and a headphone jack.

    This page describes the hardware.

    Thanks!

    Does the headphone jack also support mic line in?

  • In place fixed the hardware documentation link. Including it here as well.

    I do not believe the headphone jack also supports mic in, I will double check.

    Thanks!

    The Hololens development edition does not have or support mic line in. You have to rely on the built-in mic.

    Hi, is there a way to get audio output feedback ?
    My goal is to get a message like "Room Saved" after let's say saving the room mesh.

    EDIT: Once again I have found what to use after writing my question.
    There is a TextToSpeech script in the holotoolkit which seems appropriate for my design.
