Simply question

CPC carry two 3.5mm switched jack sockets.

Order code CN00651 panel mount Order code CN00652 p.c.b mount

Use one of those wired so that the signals a.e connected to the 'speakers when no plug is inserted.

Inserting the 'phones plug will disconnect the 'speakers.

I want to build a simple cable that will mute the speakers on my computer when i plug in headphones. I guess i can do it with a 3.5mm plug and a coule of 3.5mm sockets.

I need some way of connecting them so that one output loses its connection when the other is connected.

I tried google but didnt find anything usefull. If anyone could point me in the direction of a circuit diagram and also somewhere good to buy the parts in the UK it would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

This just tries to send an e-mail to that address, I'm sure that was not what you intended. was it a link to a news post? If yes can I have the subject and date so I can try to find it on Google.

Thanks again

Chris

Go to the news group alt.binaries.schematics.electronic

John has posted your schematic there...

It looks like a screw up from J.F.'s post. It should be no big deal for the OP to go to ABSE and find it, if it is...I'm hiding now!

I think the problem is that the link needs to have news:\\ added to the front. If you dont then the news reader just thinks it is a mailto:\\ link.

I wouldn't say i was a novice (at usenet, i think my question prooves i am at electronics!!) it just had me a bit confused. Anyway off to check google archives as our news server here at work doesnt carry binary groups and we cant access anythin else!

Thanks every one for your help.

--- Yup!

I'm using Agent and what I did was cut and paste the message ID from the header, after I posted to and read it back from abse, into the post on seb.

Clicking on the raw message ID in Agent opens a dialogue box where one of the choices is something like "Message ID?", and clicking on that gets the message it points to. I guess Outlook Express or ??? handles it differently.

This seems to work without going through the dialogue box:

news:// snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com

Well like Chris said it just starts a new email to that address. Could you please explain how it links to whatever.

It was not really MY circuit, it was for the OP, Chris. Yes it is at ABSE but still I do not know what the link John posted means and if Chris had to ask in the first place, he is likely a novice and more confused than me.

I could draw the cct with my eyes closed so don't really need it, was just interested where the link led or did not lead too.

No problem. I'm going home now anyway so I'll get it from there.

If I get stuck I'll post back.

Cheers
