Headphone controller buttons don't work

I've recently bought the new 10 iii. One of the reasons to choose the xperia was, that it still comes with a headphone plug. I'm using good quality headphones from Shure with cables.

I'm extremely dissapointed that the 10 iii is not compatible with the 3 button remote control of the headphones (volume + / stop, play / volume - ). If I press the buttons it doesn't change the volume of the music nor does it stop or skip songs. Most of the times there is no action if I press a button (but sometimes it switches to the loudspeaks, which is a rather annoying).

The 3 button controller is a standard and these headphones have worked with my old motorala and an even older sony without any problems.

 

I have tried to find and change settings in android but didn't succeed. I've for instance deinstalled google assistant, didn't help.

 

If there is no solution to get my headphone controller working, I'm going to buy another mobile phone.

Maybe depends from type of 3,5 mm TRRS Jack Connector.
