Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Multimedia / April 2004sound card outputs
Simple question? I think. When the sound card has outputs for speakers and headphones, it's usually possible to use both and get output in both at the same time?? I bought cordless speakers, and they seem to work great. But to use them I unplugged the corded speakers and put the cordless in the same place. Now I think I was supposed to put the cordless in the headphone jack. Does that mean I can use them both at the same time?? Because that would be great. Thanks. P.S. I'm getting into webradio. I was going to use spare phone wires to go from one room to the other, but these were marked down, and it seems quicker and easier this way.

Change domain to erols.com, if necessary. ffs, it'd be less effort for you to do that rather and test for yourself over even writing asking the question. Just have your volume "low", plug it in and try it. Often, there is an internal switch turns off the speaker output when the headphone jack is used but that's more often stereo gear. Not sure with your sound card as I'm more used to speaker out and line out which usually both work at once. If you do find the speaker jack goes dead when the headphone jack is used, just by a "y" adapter so you can plug both into the speaker jack. > Simple question?

You're right, and I sort of apologize, but I was so tired and lost that night, and I knew you would be a big help and you were. Couldn't find the manual, or the CD, and when I try to lean over the desk to look in back, I hurt my groin on the desk and my belly on the computer case. (No room for a tower case.) I finally found a small mirror after you posted, and I should be in fat city from now on. I just have to learn to read backwards. >Just have your volume "low", plug it in and try it.

And I thought you would give me valuable added info, which you did. Thank you. AFAIK they don't sell the Y adapter in 2.5 miniplugs. I looked and ended up buying the three ends. The guy said I should use coaxial, and soemwhere, I think I know where, I have some scrap thin stuff. But the used speakers I just bought have a headphone jack in them. The ones in use now don't. Thanks a lot. >> Simple question? I think. >> [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> >> Meirman Meirman If emailing, please let me know whether or not you are posting the same letter.

I looked and As I said, I was wrong and they do sell them. Radio Shack has about 8 different combinations of input and output that involve 1/8" or 3/32" plugs and jacks, including the one I want. >ended up buying the three ends.

The >ones in use now don't. And I was wrong about this, about plugging the wireless speakers into the front headphone jack of the new speakers. That turned them off. Oh well. :) >Thanks a lot.

Well, I was wrong about not being able to find one of these. I saw one that I think was 2.5mm in Radio Shack just a couple days ago. >> Simple question?
