Even if it did somehow work your speakers would be as loud as your headphones - probably quieter even.Actually I'm quite confused. What sort of 'mini' speakers are they? If they're travel style ones just plug them straight in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamHolmes Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Plug the two speakers into that, then plug the USB end into the computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor the basher. Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Yeah you can cut you speaker cabe at the end, and cut the head phone cable at the top get some tape or solder and conect them:) but it needs to be the right headphones if i wher you i would go tesco and get a phono to headphone in put cable abd cut that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 headphones only have 1 cable per speaker (only just realised that).No they don't they have 2 like normal speakers and the jack has 3 points. 2 lives and 1 common ground.Either way connecting speakers straight to the headphone output will be rubbish as they wont be amplified.

*PHIL* Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Yeah you can no you cantEither way connecting speakers straight to the headphone output will be rubbish as they wont be amplified.yep, you could do it but it would be very quiet. you need to get an amplifier with the correct impedance to power the speakers.
