This is highly unlikely.

3/5 jacks come in two forms:
Mono and stereo.

the usual is stereo having three connections, sleeve, ring and tip.
Sleeve acts as ground/earth, ring and tip being the signal lines.
With a mono, there is no ring.
By drawing the finger nail along the sleeve from the body of the jack plug,
you will detect the ring as their will be a dip at the position of the
insulating ring, then the ring itself, and then a further insulating ring
before coming to the dip prior to the plug tip.

Usually the impedance is 32 or less ohms, and the typical for a line in/out
would be about 600 ohms, hence a massive mis-match which would give rise to
hum and distortion.

Hi Ibrahim,  I have a Samsung too, with just one 3.5 jack socket.  I've
never been able to work out whether this doubles as an in as well as a line
out.  Any ideas?

Hi Andy.
 
Yes, as soon as I unplug the mike the sound comes back, I've checked the
sound card and the volume is set to 100%, mute is off and the default audio
output source is Realtek so its definitely not tampered with my sound
settings.
 
All the best, Ibrahim.

Ibrahim - Does sound come back as soon as you unplug the mike? Has plugging
in the Mike altered any of your sound card settings? -

        Hi Everyone.
         
        Wonder if anyone can help here.  I recently purchased the Blue
Microphones Tiki USB microphone for my new Samsung laptop running Windows 7
64-bit.  Whenever i plug the microphone in to my computer, all sounds
including system and screen reader simply stop.  I have tried to figure out
what the problem might be but with little success.  I have tried connecting
an external sound card to restore speech while the microphone is plugged in,
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the device using device manager,
nothing is doing.  If anyone has a solution to this problem then please
advise, otherwise this microphone is going straight back to Amazon.
         
        All the best, Ibrahim.
