Help - Speakers/Headphone combination problems..
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Iny YASHA
Hey guys, just hoping I could get a little help here.
Im currently on a Sound Blaster Live! Value card, and I have Creative SoundWorks Cambridge speakers...
Just recently, I bought myself a cool set of headphones so that I could listen to music at night w/out waking up the house 
My question is: At the back of the sound card, I have 5 port things.
Black, Green, Pink, Blue, and Yellow....
From my speakers, Front and Rear plugs go into the Black and Green ports, my new headphone also has a mic attached to it, so that one plugs into the pink port... Im left w/ the baby blue and the yellow [digital output]
I plug the 2nd cord from the headphones (first one being the mic) into the baby blue one Im assuming, and I leave the digital blank.
Whenever I go into my AudioHQ and try to switch it from Speakers to Headphone, nothing happens... I go back and forth and the sound only stays on my speakers....
Do I have to unplug my speakers each time, and then plug in the headphone jack into the green/blue ports to switch between headphone/speakers... or do I have the plugs all confused?
Thanks!

Unfortuneately, the only way for you to actually get sound for your headphones is to plug them into the green speaker port. Baby Blue is not acualy a heaphone port, it is a line in. Mic is pink, line in blue, stereo or primary chanel green, and rear chanel black. The audio HQ settings are to optomise the output for either speakers or headphones.
You can purchase a splitter from a store similar to Radio Shack for about $5 that will allow you to plug your speaker and headphones into the same jack. That way when you want to use yourheadphones you can just turn off the speakers.
