Most likely it's a difference in the TRRS layout of the headset.
For example, I have two "similar" headsets, one that came with Samsung Galaxy S and another that came with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Even though they look similar to the naked eye, if I use the Galaxy S one with my Tab, I only get mono sound due to a minor difference in the TRRS layout.

There are all sorts of apps that enable you to use your phone's camera and mic on your PC over Wi-fi or USB.
Here are some examples:
DroidCam
IP Webcam

If you are working in a high noise environment, a traditional mic isn't going to help you. Even with a noise cancelling secondary mic it will be very difficult for the equipment to pick your voice out of the noise and isolate it. You might look into a throat mic instead, which grabs your voice by direct contact with you rather than conduction through the ...

I bought a splitter ($7.65 on Amazon)to access the headphone/mic input on my HTC Thunderbolt.
An Audio Technica ATR6550 shotgun mike works fine with the built-in camcorder software. Note that the impedence on this is 2200 ohms.
I have half a dozen other microphones, and NONE of them work (some have an impedence of around 1000 ohms, so maybe this is the ...

The Samsung Galaxy S2 does have dual microphones.
However, if using Gingerbread (2.3), the device only records mono audio.
Using Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) though, the device can record stereo audio at about 130 Kbps with a sampling rate of 48KHz.

No, you cannot use a microphone on the mobile version of Flash Player.
From the Action Script Reference Documents:
Runtime microphone support
The Microphone class is not supported in Flash Player running in a mobile browser.

I use the Irig Pre interface (30 euro / 30-40 US dollars) to connect any XLR mic to my HTC wildfire. In flightmode I can make good 48khz mono WAV recordings with the Taperecorder app.
When I switch flightmode off there sometimes are some ticks and clicks.
Afterwards you cann edit your recording and convert it into MP3 files.

The range of USB device types supported "as is" by Android is limited and does not include microphones.
On the other hand, Android has the capability to work with an unlimited range of USB devices via their 'open accessories' sdk/kit/framework. This was added in Android 3.0.
I believe they had to do it this way: existing USB devices require driver ...

It is a headset (as opposed to merely headphone) port, tested using TRRS (tip ring ring sleeve) Klipsch Image S4i headset. Also, because of the peculiarities of the way HTC soldered the fm radio on the 3D, it apparently (I didn't test this, don't have any TRS headsets/don't care about FM) only works correctly with a TRRS cable.
You'll note on android, when ...

It's not a usb mic, but i have found a solution for external mic via 3.5 mm jack...
Look at my answer in this thread here:
How do i use a external microphone with my Galaxy Nexus?

You'll need a TS connector for mic-only or TRRS for a headset with a mic, see this Wikipedia article.
For example, this TRS to TRRS adapter is supposed to work with the Galaxy Nexus and includes a mic. I'm not sure if you would need to plug in headphones for it to work, but you could certainly plug them in and not use them.
You didn't mention Bluetooth; ...

Sorry, as far as I am aware, there is no way to do this.
The speaker is highly ingrained into the hardware, and it would be highly difficult to get this to work - never mind that it could be impossible.
It could be possible, but it would require loads of hard work - including rewiring, and possibly some soldering - and your device may not survive.

Appears that Android still lacks some skills regarding Bluetooth headset to Voice Input capabilities. I couldn't make it work either.
But there's an APP for everything, and this is no different ;)
Skyvi (Siri for Android) available from Google Play Store:
Key Features:
Voice Texting
Fast find and call places
Get directions
Call Contacts

I assume the USB connection isn't the main point? You could look into a TRRS splitter to fit your 3,5mm plug into the headset jack on your phone. Here's one example, just to give you an idea of what I mean.
This way you can use a normal recording app to capture analog audio from your soundboard. Just be careful to check the levels since the jack isn't a ...

Is your phone Rooted ? BlueputDroid works with rooted devices only (if you are prepared to root your device then this maybe achieveable with this app) according to this article entitled:
How to remotely control your PS3 with Android BlueputDroid Apps Guide written by EHSAN on Feb. 27th 2011.

Thanks to an app that turns an Android phone into a more universal Bluetooth device, it is possible to control a PS3 with your Android phone as though it were a Bluetooth remote control. The connection allows the phone to be used as a virtual keyboard for entering text, and it even has a touchscreen trackpad for moving the cursor in the PS3's web browser.

Extremely doubtful, to the point where I'm confident saying no, it wouldn't work. It would require either the OS dev team having included Linux drivers that would work with the USB device, or the USB device manufacturer having released Android-compatible drivers that you could install on your tablet yourself.

I am unable to answer your question fully, but the part "and I don't know if the lower or middle or upper part is for the microphone", you can verify it quite easily.
What you need to have is a head phone that came with your device or the one that works (both mic and headphone speaker should work), a 1.5V battery cell and a pair of small wire.

For external headsets you would be better looking at the incredible range of bluetooth enabled headsets for mobiles. I doubt that there will be any support for the current desktop usb based ones anytime soon as its not the focus of Android atm. A hardware vendor would have to write the drivers for them, or an opensource effort.
I was just playing with the ...

No, it's not supported on any Android version up to and including 4.0.3. (I've just tested this with my Zoom H4n and Asus TF101 upgraded to 4.0.3.)
There's no reason it can't be added in a future version, or maybe a third-party port. The driver exists in Linux, so it would just need to be included in Android's Linux kernel build and then given some ...

The connector must be a bit loose (or incorrectly sized) and as it wiggles around in the socket, it hits the connectors in a way that makes the phone think it's equipped with a mic (that is, a TRRS plug instead of TRS). Try another pair of headphones or try twisting and aligning the plug/cord so that there no pull or twist in the root of the cord.

Maybe disabling the noise cancellation feature might work..
Get a rooted file editor first, then
from "/system/build.prop" change the
"media.a1026.enableA1026=1" to "media.a1026.enableA1026=0"
Then do a reboot. See if your problem is solved. I simply suspect the android's mic always gets enabled for the purpose of noise cancellation during calls/voice ...

Sure... you just have to choose between hacking the phone or hacking the PC.
Via hacking the PC:
Enable USB debugging on the phone. Install the SDK and get adb working. Set up an adb port forward to the phone. Write an apk which listens on a local network port and upon connection opens the microphone and pushes samples through the forwarded 'network' ...
