Any updates on this headset buddy line level to mic level adapter shared earlier in the thread?

On a whim, I tried plugging line level directly in to the mic input on my lappy. Much less complicated than plugging into the TRRS jack on a phone. Without attenuation, the distortion is... lovely.
This also looks like a possibility:

Re: Building a cable from sound system to "mic in"
If you're using a laptop, I'd recommend the Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows and Mac.. That and a plain old 3.5mm stereo cable will work fine. It avoids a whole bunch of ifs, ands, buts, and maybes.
But before placing the order, dig into the hardware settings in the control panel. You find find a "mic boost" setting. If so, set it to 0dB and try again.
At $8, it's also one of the cheapest options.

Re: Building a cable from sound system to "mic in"
I tried the Headset Buddy cable, but found it had too much attenuation for the phones we were using. I'm working on a custom L-pad that will bring the level approximately up to that of the Tabernacle Choir when they come on, but still have a reasonable source impedance for the phone. I'll let you know what I come up.
