Hello,

I have a Galaxy S9, headphone jack works fine but I ran into something interesting today. I found my old old wired pair that somehow hasn't got its left earphone inaudible, literally the only pair that has lasted THIS long. But for some reason, it does not work with my Galaxy S9. At first I thought that the pair was dead but I plugged into my computer and it's absolutely fine. So what gives?

Here is a picture of the headphone jack.


I'm not really sure what's going on... I tried looking up wiring of a 4-pin headphone jack but I am not sure if there are different standards that have the 4pin jack in common but vary in wiring. Not really experienced in the audio field too much. I am guessing I can solve this issue through a wonderful adapter? Any help is appreciated. Thank you

 

I thought so... The fourth pin is actually a microphone in my case, and my S9 does support a fourth pin so really IT SHOULD work. I have a similar pair except it's a headset and it works fine.
Well... I got it working anyway, I got tricked by Samsung software -_- For WHATEVER reason, as soon as you plug in a 4-pin jack, the phone MUTES it self... and as soon as you unplug and plug a normal 3pin jack, it UNMUTES on it's own and starts playing... Why Samsung, why? Either way as soon as I noticed this little quirk I unmuted it and now it plays fine. Thanks for the help anyway!
