FWIW I have tried something similar. I put a small (100 Ohm IIRC)
resistor between MIC and GND, that doesn't help at all though. It just
makes things worth. If you think it's more likely to work I can try a
short everything or a completely different approach (still have two
2.5mm jacks lying around) if you want.
