pc headphone question

Is there anyway i can listen to mp3's on my pc using headphones plugged into
the cd or dvd headphone socket on the front of the pc? It works if i plug
them into the soundcard on the back but, like life, my headphone cable is
far too short.

 

Usually works for me straight away. Have you tried?

 

flash emerged from their own little world to say

Yes. Connect the socket, internally, to the soundcard.

 

Doesn't seem to.

 

Turn the PC round, back is the new front.

 

Don't be daft - much easier to sit at the back of the desk.

 

If all else fails get a 3.5mm stereo extension lead :

Don't they do those things any longer than 3.5mm?

 

he'll probably need a longer one than that.

 

<fx: nods>
you'll need a decent mirror so you can see the screen, mind.

 

LOL - yeah - for more reach go for the 1/4" version )

p.s. an alternative would be to buy dozens of 3.5mm -> 1/4" stereo jack
converters (and the same number of 1/4"->3.5mm converters) and string 'em
together!

 

And, I suppose, long arms to be able to reach the keyboard.

Also an elaborate pulley system for desk drawers, too, I shouldn't
wonder.

Wot 'e sed.

 

And of course some right angle bends or it would just end up further
away from the front of the PC.

 

Or two if you don't like reading back to front.

 

Right angle bends will slow the signal down too much - better to go for
pairs of 45 degree bends.

 

That's why you have a 52 speed CD drive , to overcome the lag

<desperately trying to get the thread back on topic>

Would this require countersteering?

No no, you just need a decent pair of sticks.

I thought it would be better to have curves in the cabling, so that the
'1's don't get stuck.
