Your headphones may not be wired correctly for iPad. There are different wiring standards for TRRS connections.

To test your headphone jack adaptor, you would be best advised to verify its operation using genuine Apple Earbuds.

If all is well with the earbuds, you will have confirmed that the wiring of your headphones has a compatibility issue.
