My Headphone Jack Doesn't Work On My PCs

[fpga123]

Well I have the Level 10 Headphone from TT. Its main cable got torn a while back from the control box which was the weakest link. So I have been using the mobile cable instead.

The problem is that though it works perfectly with my mobile, the PCs do not pick it up correctly. The laptop picks it at certain angles and the ASUS Xonar U7 with the desktop does not pick it at all. Its a standard 3.5mm 4-pole jack/socket.

What should I buy as a convertor to connect it to both PCs? Maybe a 3-pole 3.5mm jack/socket?

I get it that I will have to buy 2 cables, one for the laptop with the 3-pole and one splitter for the U7 for mic and speaker, maybe both 3-pole/2-pole?

I believe you need something like THIS, but with the 3.5mm FEMALE 4-pole input but I haven't found one yet:

You'd also need two, 3.5mm M/M cables (male on both ends)

If your main cable is BROKEN why don't you get one from the headphone manufacturer, or look for a replacement elsewhere?

Isn't it just a USB cable?

Would THIS cable work?

I can get a cable made, that's cheap. I just need the specifications of the Jack(s) to use as input to the laptop and U7.

It isn't a USB cable, only one end which goes into the headphone is mini-usb but the other is a 3.5mm jack.
