Hack to allow an external 3.5 mic to be connected to the NX500 via the micro USB port

Hi,

I bought this adapter - 3.5 jack to micro USB:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-Jack-to-3-5mm-Earphone-Headphone-Adapter-Socket-Audio-Cable-Sale-/252522076154?hash=item3acb7d17fa:g:zRoAAOSw~gRVpdgU

I tryed out with my Rode 3.5 microphone, and there is no sound being recorded to the NX500 trough there

i was wondering. Is the ability to record audio via the USB micro port viable through some sort of hack? The automatic gain control of the NX500 is great, so in a sense the only thing we needed is to allow the external audio to be recorded to the camera by software, via the USB micro port.

Here, the gopro allows it:

I mean the hardware is there... so maybe te NX500 could be the best camera at its pice range with an audio quality that match is video performance...

Thanks,

Samsung NX500
