However that particular board doesn't have a headphone amplifier so the
3.5 mm audio jack is suitable for line out only, not headphones.- Vote on answer

ps.
lled "phone jack" (form headphone I think) so I used the same name for the sake of continuity.
of course, they use the headphone jack for line out (same signal as RCA) to save space. As I said I bought this instead of the version with RCA so I didn't need a new box for the RPi.

The 1/4" TS jack/plug (along with TRS, and even more R versions) originated with the old, manual, telephone switchboard, where operators made connections by plugging cables into various sockets. Hence, "phone jack/plug".
RCA jacks/plugs, OTOH, are also commonly referred to as "phono jacks/plugs" -- originally used for connecting phonographs to an amplifier.

Hello Jack,
You know the 3,5 mm pin layout on de Raspberry Pi 1B+, 2B and 3B?
Tip = Left audio First Ring = Right audio Second Ring = Ground Sleeve = Video
Be aware of different configurated 4-pole audio-/video-cables! At the other end there are Chinch/Tulip/RCA male connectors as follows: Red = Audio Left White = Audio Right Yellow = Composite Video
It seems Apple and Zune have the same cable pin layout as the Pi.
But the iPod Video cable has the Left and Right Audio signal changed at the
3,5 mm jack end.The CamCorder cable is also different of the Pi cable. There the Audio Right and Video are changed at the 3,5 mm jack end.
The worst version is the MP3Player cable, because Video and GND are changed, and also Left and Right are changed. You can not use this MP3Player cable on a Raspberry Pi!
Good luck with it.
Henri.
