Question Those who use the apple dongle, how did you overcome this problem?

So I bought the apple dongle but I have this problem where sometimes when i turn on my pc the headphones don't work but i hear a popping sound instead, the dongle is kinda buggy also sometimes and audio doesn't work until i restart my pc. I need a dongle because without it my headphones make a static annoying noise. From what i've read, the popping noise is because there are different wiring standards for TRS and TRRS connections like in the pic below, and maybe my headphones aren't compatible with the apple dongle or some kind.How can i fix this?
Also, I have the steelseries arctis nova 1.

Will this fix work for me as well? If i get a cable with only 2 stripes, will my mic still work?
