    Speakers and Headphones need the same audio pc plugs, what to do?


    I would love to hear suggestion/s to keep both plugged somehow to avoid constantly unplugging and plugging them.
    Maybe some kind of adaptor?

    Thanks guys

    If you're talking about 3.5mm jacks... there should be one on the back (green), and one on the case front.


    There's also A/B switches...

    On Desktops the socket on the rear of the case gets disabled when plugging a headset or speakers into the socket on the front of the case. GHOT's suggestion for getting audio into either speakers or headphones would work but if wanting both working at the same maybe one of those music-sharing splitters seen by young folks listening to the same MP3 player?

    I hope I'll be able to also plug the pink connector for the Mic from my headset.
    I'll look into this right away! Thank you Ghot :)
    Cheers!

    At that Amazon link... scroll down a bit and you'll see some of those A/B switches that do speakers / headset with mic.



    Like this one for example. It does speaker and mic (side A) // headset and mic (side B)
