[gentoo-user] OT: Red jack and white jack on a pair of headphones

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hello, Gentoo.

I've recently found a pair of headphones with a microphone.  I've no idea
where it came from, but I'd like to try it out.  I've got no manual for
it.  I'm not even sure it's functional.

It has a red (stereo) 3.5mm jack plug and a white (stereo) 3.5mm jack
plug.  I'm assuming that one of these is for the headphones and the other
for the microphone, and that they plug into the pale green and pink jack
sockets on my PC.

But which is which?  I don't want to destoy anything by connecting them
the wrong way around.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
