is there a .......

perhaps a device to put in a drive bay that i can plug audio etc into
the front of the machine? i need to swap speakers for h/phones
occasionaly or of course have both functioning at times that would get
me out of my problem. Or i spose i could get yet another mile long wire
to run to the front of the machine :-)

BoyPete...

Maplin do a device about half the size of a ciggy packet that you plug
h/phones and speakers into with a switch to move between the two.

JoeH...

I use something similar to one of these

and plug the phones in one side and the speakers in the other.

The phones have a volume switch which I turn down when using the speakers
and the speakers have a switch which I turn off when using the phones.

Old Grizzly...

and it probably does the job just as wel eh? LOL

JoeH...

It does indeed - and cost 50p.

Jackie...

Only a numpty here Len but would a Usb-hub be the thing you want. I have one
on my desk here to plug cameras, etc. into without having to reach about for

Old Grizzly...

no Jackie for Audio etc its a small round pinned plug not USB
rectangular one .... but thanks :)

Old Grizzly...

Thats the sort of thing Pete, i did look but had not found that
......Cheers :)

BoyPete...

You ok for getting one? If not, you can have mine as I don't use it any
more.

Troy's Human...

Snap :-)

I've been trying to contact Len on Skype tonight to offer him mine that I
also don't use anymore :-)

Old Grizzly...

Thank you gentleman but after talking to Troy Human tonight i learned
that there is a USB headset that does exactly what i am after and
functions great as well so i ordered one on line to collect in the shop
tomorrow For Ł33.5 so thank you both ;-)

You'd have to pl......experiment with the plugs and buttons, cos I've lost
the destructions :)

it!!
