Step 2Disassembly and Reason
- Pry open with a small flat head screwdriver at the seam between the two jacks. Dont be afraid to dig in there prying up and down to crack the glue seam. Work around all the sides to ensure a clean separation.
- Now the fun begins, note the pin outs before we start hacking the splitter up, what we are going to do is make this adapter so that it is an exclusive headphone / microphone adapter (YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THIS FOR TWO PEOPLE TO LISTEN LIKE IT WAS ORIGIONALLY INTENDED). The reason that this does not work properly with the Macbook pro is that the microphone jack most headsets use is not the same pin out as these adapters. We have to swap the mic jack pins to make this work properly.
