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!

If this answer helped you, a little thank you is nice... Your issue resolved, the green button at the top is better ;-)
Let he who has never opened a user manual throw the first mouse.-
Hi,
Thank you for your response, but it doesn't answer the question... -
Hello
The issue is that some manufacturers wire differently... Apple does not wire the combos like Samsung does...- Anyway, I’m going to buy a splitter like the one I’ve outlined. I’ll come back here to provide an update, but I would have liked to know beforehand because I’m going to connect a mono jack plug to the input socket, with the right channel shorted to the ground. That’s why I’m asking my question; I need to be sure that the left channel of the input socket is wired and not the right one.
