Hi Friends, I was referring to samsung Tab T311 specs where it says earjack 3.5pi 4 pole stereo.
I was slightly confused with this term as sansung person says 4 pole is their audio technology.
does 4 pole mean 4 pins on 3.5 mm jack that includes L + R + Gnd + MIC In?
would a standard stereo headphone available in market (with just 3 pins on 3.5mm jack) would seamlessly connect to such slot?
Thanks..
