Headset splitter or headphone splitter?

Identify split versus combine direction, a missing microphone path, and CTIA/OMTP evidence without guessing by brand.

Your declared connection

TRRS has four contacts; it is not a wiring guarantee.
Use jack labels/manuals, not just diameter.
For a single TRRS headset plug only.
Device combo jack OR the splitter TRRS socket, not the separate PC mic jack.
Sharing playback is not separating a headset mic.

Two meanings of “splitter”

A headphone-sharing adapter duplicates a playback output. A headset-to-PC adapter separates the headphone and microphone contacts into the corresponding device jacks. These are different functions even when both have a Y shape.

Direction and contact order are separate

One TRRS headset into separate PC jacks needs one female TRRS socket and two male plugs. Separate headset plugs into a combo jack need the reverse socket/plug arrangement. CTIA/OMTP conversion swaps microphone and ground; it does not also perform either split/combine function automatically.

This tool specifies an adapter class, not a retail product or console compatibility. Microphone bias, remote buttons, jack detection, input permissions and proprietary wiring still depend on the exact products.
