I read the Q&A about this -- it turns out there are several different
standards which look the same externally. This one is OMTP; for a Mac, you
need CTIA. They differ in the mic and ground connection. There is also
TRRS. I don't know what that one is.
So don't just buy one of these adapters without checking what your socket
is.
