FUJI X-T4 HEADPHONE ADAPTER PART

[AngelG]

I recently bought a Fuji X-T4 and within a month my USB-C headphone jack adapter began to come apart so, since Fuji did not offer a replacement part, I bought a replacement part on Amazon but it didn't work. I then bought another couple of adaptors of different brands to be safe and none worked. I bought a 4th one from another brand and it didnt work either. The original Fuji adapter still works, though flimsy, so I'm able to verify that it's not a camera set up -or me- but rather the fact that no adaptor but the original that came with the camera works.  I google the crap out of it and nobody has a replacement part or even talks about it. I search in Fuji forum's and nada, it's not a thing. After Fuji makes the Apple-like mistake of taking away the essential mini headphone jack, am I the first and only cat who wants to have a replacement in the world? Has anybody else found a replacement part that works? Fuji, if you're listening, can you, like, offer a replacement part so that, if we loose the dongle or it falls apart like mine has we are not like, totally screwed on a remote location not able to monitor sound with headphones, which is like, a world-wide standard procedure for recording video!? I'm I dreaming!?

Hello, I've the same problem. Have you solved?

 The problem is related to the presence of DAC (digital audio converter) which does not let the analog audio signal to pass through.

Look for a Motorala (or any other brand) that it's labeled for analog audio headphone.

Hi,

I bought a two usb-c to 3.5mm audio adapters on eBay recently.

The first one did NOT show up on my Mac either as an input or output device, but worked fine as a headphone monitor adapter on my X-T4 and X-E4 in movie mode. I couldn't make it work with my Mac.

The second one was advertised as containing 'a Connexant Smart DAC chip' and showed up on my Mac as a USB-C audio device on both input and output. I could listen to music from my Mac and see the volume go up and down as I touched the microphone on my headset. (My headsets were an Apple wired earbuds or a pair of Sennheiser Urban headphones with microphone, both with a 3.5mm TRRS connector) The second adapter did not work with either my X-T4 nor my X-E4.
