On linux my microphone does not work, I have tried enough thngs to know it has something to do with the way apple build these earbuds not playing nicely with my hardware, on my laptop these do work on Linux. Now, will a USB-C to 3.5mm audio jack solve these issues?

I don’t think it’s an issue with apple if your using wired headphones are you sure your laptop supports microphone and headphones over the same port?

@floral pivot yes, on my laptop the mic is detected and works like expected. On my computer on the other hand the mic is detected, but all that you hear is static noise

Okay so pretty much based off what you’ve said it sounds like your PC doesn’t support combo jacks

on windows it does support it, so that's why I am wondering if is a driver issue on Linux, and I can fix it with a usb-c dongle

Yeah I guess it possible your missing the audio driver if you get a USB C that supports combo jack you probably wouldn’t need a driver

I'd start with checking to make sure your pulseaudio/pipewire audio configs are setup properly and do some basic troubleshooting/messing with things there

oh and btw, on my pc on linux other headsets do work

It's possible that it's trying to use an unsupported audio frequency from the eadbuds, which would likely result in static or no input

That’s not really a thing with analog headphones

Are they combo split or digital

Ive seen some pretty weird shit happen with linux in terms of audio setup

Me too but with analog it doesn’t matter what it’s set too it’ll be the same on all devices

just a regular 3.5mm thing, I guess that is a combo split

Like for the headsets that do work how many cables do you have to plug in?
fallen totem
also one
bronze geode
Okay can you count the rings on each of the jacks for each headset?
fallen totem
well euhm, one slight issue, the headset is burried somewhere around my house, since I don't use it anymore. The earbuds have 3 tho
BRUH, nvm, it is right next to me, I am actually blind
both have 3 rings
bronze geode
Okay my only thought then is it might not be plugged in all the way
Apple has some really tight tolerances so it’s hard to push them in all the way
fallen totem
nah, that can't be it, they work on windows, I reboot into Linux and the mic stops working.
maybe it is possible to copy the audio configuaration for the mic from my laptop to my computer?
bronze geode
Probably not as they likely have different drivers
fallen totem
hmmm, this could fix it right?

Sorry for the Dutch :p

Might possibly make it work, but considering they already work on windows, it's very likely just a software issue as i'd already stated
