Ok, I'm looking at the jack and I can't tell you... it's a 3.5mm jack with both mic and headphone icons separated by a /.

If I plug my 4 band headset in, I get sound through the headphones. but only the internal mic works.

Next, I used a splitter that converts a 4 band headset plug into a dual 3 band (PC) headset plugs providing one 3 band plug for earphones and one 3 band plug for mic.

If I plug the 3 band earphone plug in, I again get sound through the earphones. HOwever, if I plug in the 3 band mic plug, I still get nothing, only the internal Mic works.

This headset has worked perfect on all systems with combo jacks, and works perfectly on every other system I've tried with dual jacks using the splitter described above.

Here's a picture of the jack
