Hey guys.
I have a Note 10+ 5G and I'm trying to get a Rode VideoMic Pro to work with it.
I bought the official Samsung USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. When using this alone, the phone doesn't even pick up the mic. It just records audio from the phone mic.
Then I bought a headphone/mic splitter, because the Rode VideoMic Pro doesn't have the typical four rings for a mic plug; only three (as you can see in the picture), so I don't think the Note 10+ recognized it. When I record with the dongle and the splitter, I get an annoying clicking noise every second or two and can barely hear my own audio, an issue that some others seem to have experienced.
In an attempt to troubleshoot, I tried the setup on my iPad Pro. With just the dongle, the iPad didn't see the Rode VideoMic Pro. With the dongle AND the splitter, the Rode worked perfectly, so I know all the individual components are working.
Is there a known issue with the Note? Is there a dongle that would actually work better than the official Samsung dongle? I'm just at kind of a loss, because I would love to use this phone to record video, but not really without an external mic, and it should be able to handle one.
Thanks in advance for any help!
