It sounds like the adapter is trying to provide the mic in on your phone.
Test by seeing if the mic is suppressed by having only the adapter plugged in but no aux. If the mic works appropriately with no aux, how many black lines are on the aux you’re plugging in? If there’s three, then that aux cable is a TRRS 'requesting" mic control. If you can get one with 2 (TRS), that might resolve it.
If the mic doesn’t work with just the adapter, then it’s the adapter’s fault.


An Open World is only too big if it requires loading screens at transition points that aren’t natural. An Open World can have an insufficient density of relevant content, where exploring it has too little marginal utility to the player, and therefore it is ultimately not useful to exist.
