Hi @Khaleel_Ahmed

Did you try using a speaker with mic? Does it work or you face issue?

If you face issue with Android, you can try posting in relevant thread:

RockPi 4b use one 4pin, so you need or usb audio to use headphone with two 3.5 jacks, or use headset with 4 pin 3.5 jack

Hello @Dante4

I am using 4 C with Ubuntu and I attached the mobile handsfree with 3.5 jack. I am not able to attend the Skype or any other calls.

Can you please guide me to solve this issue?

Looks like sinks is there. Are you sure your headphone is 4pin?

Also, as a test, i advise to try libreelec and see does sound go through

#14

Yes, my headphone is 4pin.
Let me give a try to libreelec. Please confirm, am I on the right website libreelec ? :slight_smile:

#15

yes, it’s correct site,
