TRRS CHECKING
We often encounter problems around a TRRS connection given the 2 standards
The thought I often hear: my headphones work but my microphone does not. The following tells you more.
The TRRS connection is often talked about with 2 cabling possibilities for the MEMS micro given the Android or Apple configuration.
I will provide you with explanations with the use of a TRRS Delock 65453 adapter which allows you to have the 4 free points to be able to take multimeter measurements.
If between (S) Shield and R (Ring), you measure a positive voltage of 1 to 2.5V, you are in a OMTP configuration (GND, MIC, Right, Left). If on the other hand you have a voltage of -1 to -2.5V, this is a CTIA configuration (MIC, GND, Right, Left)
You can check each connection to the TRRS Micro headset label (Smartphone, Iphone, Tablet, PC, Games, ...)
The little PCB that follows my adapter is nothing more than a micro crossover.
The trend is the configuration (MIC, GND, Right, Left). In the case of DIY, it is imperative to use isolated connectors because the Micro connection would be put to the chassis
It can also be inserted into a camcorder, camera, HF microphone pack, in order to locate connections (Alim electret)

Over time, my tests indicate that the CTIA standard is widely adopted for both Android and PC laptops. Only an old Nokia was in OMTP. So for DIY let's adopt the CTIA wiring.
