Did you already have it output to your TV screen?
I'm surprised this works - because with the other method, if I plugged in the cable unconnected I got a notice asking about PAL vs. NTSC. I assumed the pin clicking in place caused the tv out signal to come up. Must the current run through the blue cable in order to provide headset sense?
If you can confirm that cutting the blue cable works - I may try to do this instead. It sounds like a quick and reversible fix.
