Replacing male mini usb b with a 3.5 mm stereo plug on earphones.

[fauzan_22]

I have a Motorola earphone with a mini usb b connector after cutting of the connector i found 6 wires inside it

red.green,black,white and what seems like two pair of copper wires one is a bit orangish and other is silverish so i'm assuming that red is right channel audio green is left channel audio and the orangish copper is ground because when i had soldered a stereo jack on a non usb earphones that was the case and before i soldered them i use to check them just by wrapping them around their respective holes and checking audio through a phone or mp3 player but with this one I'm not getting any audio.

The black wire I'm guessing is mic but I can't figure out what the white and silverish copper wire is.
If someone can point out what I am doing wrong then I'd appreciate it. In hindsight I wonder if i should have created this thread before cutting of the mini usb connector of the earphones.

Or you can Google what the different wires do in a male USB B plug. Took less than 5 seconds. Might have to add a keyword in there to get exactly what you want, but its a good start.

If your headphones had a mini-usb then i suspect can't use them with analog audio connections. Playing with the wires wouldn't help.

I'd say probably not.

If it's a USB connection it probably has an integrated AD/DA chip.

That's pretty sad anyways is there some kind of female usb mini b to male 3.5mm plug any of y'all are aware of because searching online I wasn't able to find anything.

@americanaudiophile I was actually doing just that trying to get sound from the earphones it's like you can see me how the hell did you know that I was playing with the wires?

I ended up removing the left and right speakers from the controller board and soldered them on a new wire with a trs plug and it's working pretty great.

If someone has a better way for achieving something like this then please post it as it might be helpful to someone else reading this.

Thanks for the input from everyone.
