Forums - PC - Headphone extension?

You can just get an extension, like you said. And yes, plugging an extension into an audio jack will mute speakers. The rest, well, I'll let the rest of the community comment on that.

I used a 5m extension which I logged with me through my whole flat. But then I grew some balls and got me wireless headphones.

But how do you disable them from muting the speakers, once you're done with them?

That's really easy, I don't own any speakers.

But if I had any and my soundcard driver can't do automatic switches between sources then I'd get myself an audio switch.

Simple, I turn the headphones off, switches to speakers automatically.

I have an extension running to the 2.1 system, there's a jack in the volume control on my desk, plugging in the headphones mutes the speaklers automatically. I can also plug it into a USB adapter with a built-in soundcard and connect it to the front of my PC tower, that way I can have 7.1 surround in my headphones, which is neat for gaming.
