I just want to play music from my laptop through my boom box and I was wondering if there was a connector cord that would do the trick. The computer has two head phone jacks; one for output and one for input. The potential problem, my boom box only has one head phone jack for output, not input. Is there any way I can get this to work? Please post a link to the magical cord if it exists. Thanks
First off, the computer doesn’t have two headphone jacks. It havs one output jack to be used for speakers or headset and an Inputer jack to be used to plug a microphone in. To play your laptop through your boom box, you need to have some sort of input on it. Say a jack labeled "Mic" or maybe "AUX". If it doesn’t, you’re out of luck. If you’re lucky, you can get a 2.5 mm plug on one end and plug it into your laptops output jack. On the other end would also be 2.5 mm plug to plug into your boom box. How ever if your boom box doesn’t have a place to plug in a 2.5 mm plug as input, it could have RCA jacks for inputer in which case you’d plug the 2.5 mm plug into an adapter to input at the RCA jacks. Good luck.
