senote Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I'm about 2 meters away from the TV, there's loads of crap between me and it so it isn't easy to get to. If I plug headphones into the TV it will mute the sound is there a way I can plug in headphones or preferable a headphone extension cable and not have the sound muted? I am fairly sure the answer is no but I thought i'd ask anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishFury Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 why would you want the speakers to be going while you have your headphones connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowin Smurff Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 i'm going to assume he wants to leave them plugged in all the time, and then somehow disable the sound from the TV when he wants, i could be wrong though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishFury Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 it can be done if the TV has line level outputs (red/white stereo RCA connections)... run that to a headphone amp (or even a stereo receiver) and assuming your TV has a menu option to deactivate the built in speakers you'll want to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senote Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 My apologies, that's what happens when I post at 2am lol. Yes I want to leave a headphone extension cable plugged in so that I can just plug headphones in when I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
