Any chance of modifying the jacks to suit your needs?
Bottled my George Washington "small" beer (which turned out at 8.3% ABV as I messed up the syrup addition for a 3 qt. batch). Interesting, kinda bland, but it's definitely beer. Cooled to about 50F it tastes a lot like a slightly starchy black iced tea, no hint of alcohol at all even at 8+%. Pretty quaffable beverage, probably pretty good straight from the icehouse at Mt. Vernon on a hot Virginia summer day.
It is interesting tasting it then having a SNPA right afterwards - you really get a sense of the evolution of beer, especially of the hops. A ho-hum pale ale like Bass is an atomic hop bomb compared to the GW brew.
Threw together a nice home-made cheddar mac & cheese casserole for dinner, coming out of the oven in 3....2....1....
Well, no. I bought 1/4" couplers. I thought I was buying av type couplers. Oops.
That did remind me that I've got a box of av stuff I haven't looked at in a while. Turns out that I've got most of what I need already.
Hooked everything up, and remembered why I stopped using this rather mad scientist type of audio setup.
So, here's the setup. Audio from the my old ps2 is going into the female ends of these.
One set of the male connectors from that is plugged into a pair of these, only mine are cables.
The extra female connector is plugged into the male connector for my wireless headphones. The male connector for image above is then connected to one of these.
The 3.5mm connector from the av is then connected to one of these.
The male end of that goes to a A/B switch for 3.5mm audio.
The extra female 3.5mm connector goes to a pair of regular wired headphones. The A/B switch is connected to the computer as an audio source.
At present, I've got another one of these in cable form connected to the speaker output from the A/B switch.
I need to order two more of these to connect all the audio to the stereo. I've got the extra male connectors from the ps2 av lines, and the av's from the adapter on the speaker output for the A/B switch.
Anyway, I need to get the connectors and a different stereo. Then I can run those floor speakers I found the other day with everything currently available.
At present, all of that lets me listen to audio from the computer and the game system at the same time on either the wired or wireless headphones.
There are two problems with the present setup. 1. I can only get audio from the game system on the headphones. Both because I'm missing a couple of connectors and because the stereo doesn't have av inputs. 2. The ps2 sucks power off the av audio outputs while it turned off. No kidding. Unplug the connector from the back of the ps2 and the volume of the computer sound output jumps massively.
I'm considering reversing the whole mess. That way I can use the A/B switch to do input rather then output selection. Run one input from the computer only. Run the other from the ps2. Then attach all the audio outputs in parallel to the now single output from the switch.
That wouldn't let me listen to both streams though. If I split the audio output from the computer and did one input as both, the annoying drop in volume from the ps2 being connected would still apply. To both lines....
