External mic on android tablet (karaoke)

Postby fyfin » Tue Feb 14, 2023 12:17 am

A friend has asked me if I can source a cordless microphone for her husband's birthday. I'm still trying to get my head around what she expects but I think basically he likes karaoke and she thinks he could sing along with YouTube videos on his tablet. I have a headset microphone myself so I tried to see if I could do it but you can hear the music but not the microphone input.

I can't see how it could be possible as the sound input must be coming from YouTube so can't be from a mic as well.

Are there any geniuses out there that have any idea what can work?

Hi fyfin,
Until your geniuses respond to your Post have a Google........... android tablet setup as Karaoke system

Loads of setups on the Web.

Will depend what other sound equipement your friend has and the spec of the Tablet.

Sounds a fun project........... :D

Enrique, done lots of googling lol. The problem is I believe that what his wife thinks can happen is impossible. As far as I can see what she thinks can happen is that you can plug a mic into the android tablet and sing along to YouTube karaoke videos and listen via headphones. My thoughts are that the tablet can only cope with one input i.e. the internal audio generated by YouTube or e.g. if using voice recorder you can make it use an external mic but you can't have both.
I have organised karaoke using a laptop and an external amplified system. My wife taught line dancing and had powered speakers and a headset mic so she could issue instructions over the music so I am au fait with different systems but this has me beat.
I've told her to buy him something else as a birthday present lol
