New video problems!

[ship69]

Hello

New problems - the microphone keeps cutting out while I am recording & audio-playback then fails if microphone is plugged in!


BACKGROUND
I am using:

A) a good quality (Rode "SmartLav+") external wired microphone
[ https://rode.com/en/microphones/mobile/smartlav-plus ]


B) A "2-in-1 USB C to 3.5mm Headphone and Charger Adapter, by Bphuny"
[ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09WZWSYV2/ref=pe_27063361_487055811_TE_dp_1 ]


C) Plus my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (on a tripod), running the "Pro Video" mode of the Samsung "Camera" app.


Problem 1.
When I play a video back that HAS recorded sound, no sound comes out unless I unplug the microphone!

Problem 2. The microphone keeps cutting out. It even does this half way through recording a video. And this happens even though each time, before I start recording I am checking that microphone being selected is the External USB microphone. In fact when I start recording a video, a little message always pops up TELLING me that the Pro Video "is using the external USB microphone to record".

- Do you any idea why the mic keeps cutting out?
i.e. How can I tell if this is a hardware or software problem?

- And how can I get the phone to play sound on a video without my needing to unplug the mic?!

Many thanks

J

PS Maybe my adapter is faulty?

My problem is that I can't work out what the heck to replace the connector with.

Most USB-C to 3.5mm adapters don't seem to mention TRRS (i.e. having the 3 rings of plastic rather than the 2 rings on the male connector). I am also confused as to whether I need a special connector for microphone use rather than headphone use.
