2010-08-01 09:47:06CORRECTrev. 3APPROVED
2010-10-14 00:46:57ERROR FIXEDthis may be correct but it makes no sense. if you plug in std stereo headphones they have three terminals. so term 3 and 4(sleeve) are shorted together, so right channel will be shorted to ground. more logical would be 1-chan, 2-chan, 3-mic, 4(sleeve)- ground. then when a regular headphone is plugged in the mic is shorted to ground. the phone can sense this and use it's mic and not the headset--- am i missing something??rev. 4APPROVED
2010-10-18 05:23:25CORRECTok,first configuration is correct. alternate pinout is not correct. and the error fixed comment (dated 2010-04-17 20:50:13)is also incorrect. again is has to be wrong or one channel is shorted to ground on standard earphones without a mic. the first configuration shorts the mic to ground when using std earphones--which is okrev. 5APPROVED
2010-12-12 08:30:12CORRECTNo errors. I built a little pigtail so my favorite earbuds would have a mic. Works great.rev. 10APPROVED
