Well I have the Level 10 Headphone from TT. Its main cable got torn a while back from the control box which was the weakest link. So I have been using the mobile cable instead.

The problem is that though it works perfectly with my mobile, the PCs do not pick it up correctly. The laptop picks it at certain angles and the ASUS Xonar U7 with the desktop does not pick it at all. Its a standard 3.5mm 4-pole jack/socket.

What should I buy as a convertor to connect it to both PCs? Maybe a 3-pole 3.5mm jack/socket?

I get it that I will have to buy 2 cables, one for the laptop with the 3-pole and one splitter for the U7 for mic and speaker, maybe both 3-pole/2-pole?
