I’m trying to use a mic and earphones with my cell phone I have a splitter but the mic wont-work any suggestions on what to do
@chiarisx1 this could be an issue with the wiring of the adapter. CTIA wiring goes like this (starting at the tip) Tip Left channel Ring 1 Right channel Ring 2 Ground Sleeve Microphone OMTP wiring goes like this Left channel Ring 1 Right channel Ring 2 Microphone Sleeve Ground Samsung in the past used OMTP wiring whereas Apple iPhone and Motorola Moto phones used CTIA. How adventurous are you in taking the splitter apart? It looks like the brass inserts are screwed into the blue sleeves. A pair of pliers to hold the brass and another pair to turn the blue barrel should do the trick. Then you can use a meter to figure out of the wiring will support your idea.
