Those both have 3.5mm male heads so they wouldn't be able to connect to the mic. After looking at Jake's suggestion, I got a new idea, I ordered the only adapter I could find with the right plugs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D4PMNTKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00… 0?ie=UTF8&th=1 and if it turns out the audio really is reversed then I'll bring it in to crack open and rewire it.

What mic are you talking about? With three terminals you'll never be able to get left, right, and a mic because (including ground) that would be four terminals, or TRRS On Mon, Dec 2, 2024, 12:50 Nicholas Sun via sudo-discuss < sudo-discuss(a)sudoroom.org&gt; wrote:
