The headphone jack has been an ongoing problem for me. No matter what I try, there are problems.
Mario's diagram doesn't work on certain amps, and even wiring it correctly, when I plug in my headphones the amp itself becomes damaged and the sound becomes distorted.
Also, the speakers themselves never fully turn off. They only become more quiet. Resistors on the L and R inputs can make them very quiet, but I shouldn't have to do this right? I keep ruining my amps whenever I wire up headphone jacks.
I am using the radio shack headphone jack with a very standard setup:
The amp always gets damaged when I plug in headphones. It creates shorting inside of the jack and then the amp has horrible base distortion (some of you know what I am talking about, on the gamecube menu).
My guess is that resistors are needed somewhere. I have 22K on the L and R input.
Has anyone actually gotten a headphone jack to WORK. Like really truly work? With an amp without ruining it?
