The fourth contact would be necessary for hands-free equipment with a microphone. In case you just want to use it for earphones or line-out, the microphone input contact is short-circuit to ground, which does not matter at all because it is input.

Re: 2.5mm neo to 3.5mm stereo adaptor
Hi, yeah but the distances don't match on a 2 ring adapter. L and R Channel won't contact on the right place i think, but not sure. I can confirm this. I've tried a stereo adapter from www.reichelt.de (just enter NTA 230 in the left search field), and I was only getting mono output. After that I cut the stereo connector from the adapter and soldered a 4 pin one (KS K4-25 on reichelt.de) to the remaining cable. This is now working as expected. Altough I have to say, the 2.5 plug doesn't sit in very tight, so it gets pulled out very easily. Maybe next time I'll spend a little more money on the plug (f.e. KS K4G-25). regards elh ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I can confirm this. Me too. My cheap adaptor from the supermarket (Watson 9612, not found online) has two rings and connects only one channel (right ear) if plugged in tightly. When fiddling around and pulling it a bit out there's one position in which both channels are connected, but this isn't usable for real life. On the other hand the wiki says, that the stereo audio adapter for Motorola MPx200/E398 would work[1]. The original adaptor from Motorola has 3 rings[3]. According to this picture[2], there're also variants with 2 rings, though. Those probably won't serve for headsets but only for listening. But to make it complicated I found an adaptor with 3 rings which, according to the shop's description, yet needs to be unplugged in order to make a call or answer the phone[4]. As a obvious conclusion this means, that not only the number of rings but also their position is important. And/or that we might not trust those webshop pictures too much. (Wow, what a result for one hour research...) I think I'll try that 3-ring-adapter sold by handynow.de (link 4) and post my experience to this thread later.
