I'd like to mention my USB-stick-shaped audio recorder/player who's headphone jack (only uses built-in mic in any case, though iirc the headphone button skips to the next file) functions as the computer and charging connector. The device was shipped with a cable (USB-A male) <> (TRRS 3.5mm aka 1/8") for this usage. It reports as mass storage.


Apple shipped a few iPods that were like this, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Shuffle#2nd_generation


Apple even used the 1/4” jack for the Lisa keyboard https://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/physica...
