Abstract:
A device ( 10 ) for connection to an audio accessory ( 20 ) comprising: a jack socket ( 14 ) for connection to a jack plug ( 25 ) of the audio accessory ( 20 ), a ground connection to a first socket contact ( 428 ) which is positioned to mate with a ground return pole of the plug ( 25 ). The jack socket ( 14 ) comprises a second contact ( 432 ) also positioned to mate with the ground return pole of the plug ( 25 ). Driver amplifiers ( 416, 418 ) comprise an input coupled to the second contact ( 432 ) and are configured to superimpose a signal present at the second contact ( 432 ) onto received speaker signal. It may achieve reducing the crosstalk which could distort or blur the stereo image.

Claim (Index 31):
A device as claimed in  claim 30 , further comprising switch circuitry, such that the second input of the first audio driver amplifier and the second input of the second audio driver amplifier may be coupled selectively to either of the pins of the USB-C connector for side-band use, and such that, whichever of the pins of the USB-C connector for side-band use is selected such that the second input of the first audio driver amplifier and the second input of the second audio driver amplifier are coupled thereto, the other of the pins of the USB-C connector for side-band use is connected to ground.
