Hi,


I have two headsets (stereo headphones + microphone) that I got with some Xperia phones.

when I plug it to Sony tablet S, sound is not good, it seems music is good but when it comes to words in song, it's so quiet and not understandable. When I press answer button on headset (the only one that is present on it) and hold it, sound is great.

I believe the mic is working but I'm not entirely sure because I don't know how good can I cover built in one while testing.

Simple stereo headphones work great.

This is strange to me because I thought this jack is standardized. And even if it isn't I use Sony Ericsson headsets with Sony tablet.

What can I do to make this work?
Do I need some kind of adapter or can something be done in software?

the strange thing is that I can hear everything just bad. so it couldn't be bad pinning or I wouldn't hear anything?

Thank you!
