Hello,
I need information from those who have a jack splitter for a microphone + headset, that is, a 4-pole jack on one side (either CTIA or OMTP standard, it doesn't matter) to two 3-pole jacks, one for audio input and the other for audio output.
On the 4-pole jack, only one of the 4 points is assigned to the audio input (which is normal since it is meant to be used for a microphone, hence mono).
My question is: since the 3-pole input jack has two audio channels, and the 4-pole jack only has one audio channel, what is the wiring? Is it only the left channel that is connected to the 4-pole jack? The right one? Both?
In case it isn't clear, this diagram I found illustrates the problem well with the question marks:
If you have an adapter like this at home, it would be nice to connect a regular jack cable to the audio input 3-pole jack, to have a male jack on the other side, and then use a multimeter to test the continuity of the two audio channels in relation to the corresponding point on the 4-pole jack and let me know the result.
Thank you!

Thank you for your response, but it doesn't answer the question...
The issue is that some manufacturers wire differently... Apple does not wire the combos like Samsung does...
