having 2 speaker sets hook up threw the headphone ports?

i was wondering is there a way to hook both of my speakers sets up to the laptop?

i tried one speaker set in the audio input jack the 2nd one and i dont hear anything.. but it says i plugged it in.

it works fine in the 3-1 jack.

or is int this possible?


i just want it to play stereo threw both of them.


thanks

 

You can do this by using one of these 3.5mm audio splitters:

thanks

gona pick one of those up.

tho i just found out my rocker sound chair has a input so i could plug more speakers in it than run that to the laptop


so theres no way to make the inputs on the laptop work like i was saying in my first post? because that would be cool to if not i just use my chair

 

The splitter would work like david said.

My only comment on that is carefull of impedance. I use a splitter one goes to my headphones and one to my stereo.

Since the headphones are not self powered if I dont remember to unplug them before I use the stereo I can turn them up too loud on accident.

If you had two devices plugged in at once that are not powered the one with the lower impedance is going to be louder than the other, also there is a slight loss of quality using a splitter (not that your going to hear it)

Using the chair as a middle man may be better for you, but depending on the hardware inside the chair it could also lower the quality. Generally speaking you want the least amount of stuff between your source and its destination to retain signal quality but unless your have some incredibly cheap stuff passing the signal or some really high end speakers or something it shouldnt matter to most people.
