Operating Instructions

Once connected, the MillSO 3.5mm Headphone Mic Splitter operates automatically. No additional drivers or software are required.

• Audio Output: Sound from your device will be routed to your headset's headphones.

• Device Settings: In some cases, you may need to adjust audio input/output settings within your device's operating system or application preferences to select the connected headset as the primary audio and microphone device.

Important Notes and Warnings

• This adapter is designed for headsets with separate 3-pole (TRS) headphone and 3-pole (TRS) microphone plugs.
• The male plug of this splitter adheres to the CTIA standard. Compatibility issues may arise with devices or headsets using the OMTP standard.
• For optimal performance, ensure the 3.5mm jacks on your headset and device are clean and free of debris.
• Does not support iPhone, iPad, iMac, or Mac devices.
• Does not work for 3-pole TRS condenser microphones or 4-pole TRRS external microphones. Ensure your external mic plug is 3-pole (TRS) standard if using its mic function.
• Does not support 2 sets of separate headphones.

Troubleshooting

No audio or microphone input:

• Ensure all plugs are fully inserted into their respective jacks. A loose connection can prevent proper function.
• Verify that your headset has separate audio and microphone plugs (TRS type) and is not a single TRRS plug headset.
• Check your device's audio settings. Make sure the correct input/output device is selected (e.g., "Headset Microphone" or "External Microphone" for input, and "Headphones" or "External Speakers" for output).
• Confirm your microphone is a 3-pole (TRS) standard. This adapter does not support 4-pole (TRRS) external microphones or 3-pole (TRS) condenser microphones.
• Test the headset directly with a compatible device if possible, to rule out an issue with the headset itself.

Poor sound quality or static:

• Ensure connections are clean and free of dust or debris.
• Avoid placing the cable near sources of electromagnetic interference.
• Test with another headset or device to isolate the problem.
