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.
Yes, I played some YouTube on my TV with lights & sound

To find the correct cable, I traced the signal from pin 4 to the blue wire, then to the ground on both audio jacks. So, if the blue wire is taken to ground, the TP will assume it's a headset adapter. If not, it assumes it's a video adapter.
