Hello everybody,
I replaced the my laptop's audio connector today after accidentally breaking it. I have an odd problem, however:
When I test the socket directly (by connecting a low impedance phone to the connector tips,) both channels seem to be working as they should. Things also seem alright if I plug in a standard 3.5 male-male cable to the connector and probe the tips .
(channel order also seems alright: GND,R,L)
However, if I connect any type of stereo earphone, I hear both audio channels from both sides, at roughly the same level.
Also, if instead of the standard cable above I use the 4 ring M-M cable that came with my headphone, the "crosstalk" appears even when I probe the tips with the low z earphone.
(interestingly, if I use the standard cable with the headphone, it still appears.)
Is there an explanation for this?
I tried introducing different value caps but all they did was filter out the treble.
Your help greatly appreciated.
