Yo so i've been picking up fixing shit as a hobby.
Got my friend's headset (jack busted off cause it was an L shape and he probably stepped on it while it was on the floor).
Ordered a TRRS wire to replace.
The old headset (with mic) had 5 wires. L,R,Gnd + Mic, Gnd.
The wire I got has 4 wires, presumably L,R,Gnd,Mic
So i'm "missing" a second ground wire.
My initial thought are two: untwist the ground wire and make it into two leads, or, splice some copper into the end of the main ground to create that second lead.
I suppose both should do the same thing in theory, but, will either do what I want it to do? And if so, what's better, splicing?
It's all just ground, right? Mic and speakers don't need their own separate groundings- true?

And here's my new wire.
I assume blue is mic.
I need a ground for the mic.
Just splice a second copper wire onto the main copper wire?

yeah? based?
the old cable appeared to have only 4 wires also, 2 coppers. But one of the coppers was wrapping up the green/red striped mic wire.
But it doesn't look like the case on my new wire.

/diy/ is a board for circle jerking and asking questions /r/ is too stupid to answer.
It isn't however a board for reassurance and liability. You seem smart and have figured it out on your own, so dick off cunt.
