Modded TV Out Adapters Retain Headphone Use

[PolloLoco]

I apologize if this was already mentioned - or is otherwise common knowledge, but I found out today that the 3.5mm adapter I'd broken pin 4 on, I could still use for music. Have others noticed this?

At first, I connected it and checked off one of the TV Out options on the screen prior to listening to music. As soon as I made my selection I got that low interference that most people with diy cables get. BUT, I found out that if I just skip that screen by pressing the arrow button on my phone (top right on the front pad) - I could then open up my music program and start playing music without any interference. The quality was just as good as if I'd never tampered with the adapter.

My adapter never had headset out functionality - so I don't know if someone could make calls out using this method. Would someone who modified one of the stock adapters that came with the touch pro mind testing this? It would just involve connecting a 2.5mm or 3.5mm hands-free to the modified adapter.
