Playing music down the phone


Recommended Posts

Is there any way to play music down the phone without simply holding the phone up to a speaker.

I tried cutting up a few cables, but nothing seemed to work. I really wanted to get a cable that went from the headphone socket of my hifi to the 2.5mm handsfree socket of my E100.

I think some of the adaptors for the 2.5mm socket don't carry the input signal though.

Hmmmm interesting idea... and yes if U could find the specific pin-out for the headphone jack on the phone U could build a lead easily enough but I really wouldn't reccomend it!!! U have to think of the potential disparity in signal strength/voltage coming from a headphone output when compared to what is seen at a microphone input!!! U could potentially do some serious damage! :oops:

My old PC used to have a cable that ran from the modem audio out to the soundcard audio in, and that worked without any problems. So I assume if you knew the differences in signal strength, you could adjust the output volume suitably.

When I tried, my problem was that the slightest bit of exposed wire acted as a microphone, instead of relaying the output of my amp.

Yeah in what is essentially an un-balanced system a 'screening' issue like that is always likely to be a problem I think!
