content: Hello! I recently broke my gaming headset, a corsair void with dolby, and am looking at repairing it.My headset has a mic, volume adjustment and mute button.I have a soldering iron, solder W/flux, helping hand, spare trrs plug etc.my problem is that after cutting and stripping the wires I dont know what wires go where, and I dont have a multi-meter to test them out on.List of wires:- green wire- red wire- blue and copper wire- copper wire- white wirenote that the regular copper wire was wrapped around the white wire.I know the basic trrs layout, I just dont know what goes where. Please help, I would hate to throw away such an amazing headset over something soo stupid. Thanks!

content: Looking at the cable thatshouldbe a USB headset, not a "traditional" one do you confirm this?.On the websitethe 7.1 model is a USB version.If it's a USB, white and green are data, red is +5V and blue/copper is gnd toghether with the copper as shielding .If you still have the connector, you can easily discover what is what probing with a continuity tester between the usb connector and the cables. Once done that, you can buy a usb connector and solder it.

content: It uses a trrs jack that goes into a 7.1 dolby adapter, the adapter itself has the usb, not the headphones. So it isnt a usb, its a standard headset jack. Thanks for the help though!

I have accidently ripped it out after it broke off and was hanging by the wires.Attached are some pictures to explain.I have indicated the 2 colors I could identify due to a small piece of wire that was stuck in the solder.I would be very grateful if you could help?
