Sorry, Sir! But neither works with my One Plus 6T. Did not work with Galaxy M31 either. It seems these smart phones do not support external microphones. If you can solve this problem, I will be very grateful.
Thank you for this video. I had no idea about open camera app. I got Open Camera and tried that way but it still the audio did not work :( I am also wondering what DocRoot asked below. How does the splitter cable actually work? Why would that be any different from just plugging the microphone directly into the phone?

This camera effects the video quality. Is there any way that we can use this feature on our original phone application?
answer pls
you will need a trrs to trs adapter and see if that works
Just wanted to pop in to say thank you for providing the information in this informative post.
thank you for this...! your solution of using the Open Camera app is the only solution for using the saramonic mic with USB-C connection.. cheers
