    Abstract: Techniques for detecting the type of a media plug inserted into a corresponding jack. In an exemplary embodiment the output of a first power amplifier for driving a media plug terminal e.g. the right headphone or left headphone is selectively coupled to a reference voltage. Measurements of the voltage at a microphone terminal of the media plug may be alternately made for the reference voltage being at a first value and a second value. In an embodiment the first power amplifier output voltage may be varied by opening or closing a switch. Alternatively the first power amplifier output voltage may be directly set by an input voltage to the first power amplifier. By detecting changes in the voltages measured at the microphone terminal it may be determined whether the media plug is of a North American type or European type.
