Hello.
As you know, new HP Envy laptops are equipped with just single audio jack (TRRS type). In "Maintenance and Service Guide" this one is mentioned as "Audio-in (mono microphone)/audio out (stereo headphone) combo jack".
So if I connect my stereo headphones that are equipped with 3-pin plug (TRS type) directly to this Combo Headset jack will these get recognized by system as stereo headphones (not as headset)? Can stereo headphones with 3-pin plug cause any damage to laptop hardware if connected?
What is confusing me is that in User Guide one can read following Note:
"Be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and audio-in (microphone)".
