Question about headphone compatibility and possible fix

---

I recently bought a headset (Sonic Gear Nano Plug) and plugged it into my X8 directly and the X8 didn't detect it (I'm using GingerDX v22), there was an adapter that came with the headset called a PC Chat Convertor cable so I used my headphones that way, but I noticed that it took a couple times of replugging for the headphones to actually play properly as other times it would only play output on the right side of the earpieces, I found online that it could be fixed through the use of a TRRS audio adapter, just curious on whether anyone has had to deal with this problem and how did you all fix it...

Yep.. It's a pain in the ass.. TRRS is just the name of a 4 pin jack.
The problem is that some brands (mostly nokia, samsung and SE) like to reverse the pins so you have to use their headphones.. It's pathetic, i know.. I tried my sister's headphones (blackberry) and the sound is distorted, the same goes if she tries my SE ones in her phone.
There are some TRRS adapters that can reverse the pins so you can use any kind of headset on these types of phones.. I never tried them but they work..

I think your headset is the problem..
I recently bought a Sonic Gear earplug -- which I forgot what model it was -- and I also got the cable adapter which u called the PC Chat Convertor. And guess what .. not just my x8 wont detect it but my others phone as well .. I tried on my nokia c1-01, it detected it but I can only hear the music at a very low volume even though my volume is already at it max!..

But after I plugged in the PC Chat converter cable and stick in the green jack into my audio jackpot, it works like a charm on any phone ..

That thing sucks man .. and I finally bought a brand new Hibiki earplug ..

Take a time to read my previous post..
The pc adapter resolves the problem but only for listening, you cannot use the mic.
Test those buds on a phone that is not nokia/se/samsung and you will see that they will work as they should.

Had the same problem with my Skullcandy Icon 2's. Took them to a friend's, disabled the mic and now they work perfectly. It's the mic that causes all the problems, if you can disable it the headset works perfectly. No mic, ofc.
