Tip - Left - Green Ring1 - Right - Red Ring2 - Ground - Green/Gold & Red/Gold & Red/Green* Ring3 - Mic - Gold* There’s a wire that has red and green strands wrapped around gold strands. Separate them. The red/green is ground. The gold is for the microphone. (By gold, I mean the color of the insulation, not the metal.)
Not an answer, but a further question. What is the schematic of the control buttons? What do they do when they are closed?
