Is It Possible To Buy

[Aaaaaaaa]

A cable which have 2 3.5mm stereo jacks on one end and a 3.5mm socket on the other side; i.e, 1 female to two male.




I want to be able to play my radio and my computer's sounds off the same set of speakers.

Any idea where I can buy one from?

 

[TelcoLou]

Yes.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

Yes.

Any idea where?

 

[TelcoLou]

Yes.

Any idea where?

Did you even TRY to look yourself?

Yes.

yeahh i did.


thanks for looking, but that's RCA to RCA, not 3.5mm to 3.5mm

also that's male to 2 female, not female to two male like i wanted.

thanks anyway.

Well then, check out the rest of that site ... they have a lot of different cables. Sheesh.

Wait ... do you mean this?

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

I think I remember somebody asking about something like this many years ago on a forum I used to go on. I believe the general consensus was that it would be a bad idea to have multiple audio outputs going into a single input through a standard cable due to voltage variance n stuff, that could possibly cause damage to either the output devices or the receiver. A few people posted very basic circuit designs for circuits they had made to remove the risk.

Of course it's not guaranteed to cause problems, but it is a slight risk. I'd personally take the risk and do it anyway, but that's just me

That's an RCA again, he wants 3.5mm female -> 2 x 3.5mm male

I'm not sure such a cable exists, but you can probably botch one together using several adapters:

1 x male to female, connected to
female -> 2 x female splitter, like this one:

then two male -> male extension cables hooked up to each of them

There must be an easier way :lol:

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

yeah i was thkking i might have to resort to that.

But if both outputs are not going at the same time it should be OK?

like you could have a switch that could select between either output?

 

[fishybawb]

Well they do exist in non-bodged form:

Out of stock there though.

I can't imagine there'd be any problems if you were only outputting to one thing, to answer your other question.

 

[TelcoLou]

I'm really trying to help

 

[Lettuce Dude]

I have one. I'm pretty shure it was from Maplins.

I se those cables all the time, both in car boot sales (or whatever you guys call it) and in actual stores. Have even been to a store before you asked?

By the way, I have two cables of the kind you want and I have never had any problems with them. I don't think anything too bad can happen as long as you only use one device at a time.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

hmmm
would a male to male converter
from the headphone jack of the radio to the line in on my computer achieve the same effect?

 

[nickspoon]

This, maybe?

Took me all of 10 seconds to find

You might get problems doing this without a switch on each audio line. I have my 360 and Logic3 VGA box hooked up to my PC speakers via a y cable and when I have both on at the same time I get no sound out of them untill I turn one of them off which isnt a problem for me as I only have one on at a time.
