box needed to switch between speakers & headphones

[starbuck]

I want to have the headphones and speakers plugged in at the same time with the ablility to switch between them. A simple splitter is no good as the headphones will also then be on at same time as speakers(as you cannot turn headphones off). Is there a box you can have both plugged into where you can switch between them so only the one you select will be on?

any suggetions?

Yeh i need what myth wants. Does my head in that I cant use headphones without unplugging all my speakers. So it usually means that i dont. And annoy my gf with loud noise when she is tryin to do summit else

Have you tried richer sounds or some other such av store? They may well be the best people to help. When I plug my headphones into the front of my shuttle the speakers just stop working!

Have you tried turning the speakers off?

I just plug the headphones in at the front, turn the speakers off and use the volume control in winamp

Plug the headphones into the headphone port on the speakers?

[myth]

I use 5.1 headphones..... one jack dont cut it!

Just get 3 3.5mm to 2*3.5mm adapters. Sorted. When you dont want the speakers, just turn them off.

NOO!!! I'm too lazy to to have to use it like that! I have my sound card at max volume! but my zalman cant handle it! so I couldnt leave them pluged in!

It would be very simple to make one - 6 or 7 3.5mm stereo jacks, tsdt switch (any multi would do), little maplins project box ... few mins soldering and you've got a perfectly good box
