1. An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code,the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following;
detect insertion of a peripheral device A/V plug into a jack of an electronic device, the A/V plug providing an end-terminal for a peripheral device to be connected to the jack;
determine the configuration details of the peripheral device upon detection of insertion, the configuration details including two or more characteristics of;
impedance, capacitance, the presence of a short circuit and the presence of an optical signal; and
discriminate the functionality provided by the peripheral device by using the two or more determined characteristics of the configuration details.
