Front Computer Headphone Jack Not Turning Off Speakers

My mom uses computer speakers connected to the headphone jack on her Mac Mini. The jack failed (evidently this isn't uncommon). As an inexpensive workaround, I picked up this USB audio adapter, and it worked like a charm. Even plugged into a USB hub, it stays recognized and selected in the Sound System Preferences pane even after rebooting and waking from sleep.

I love this IPad. Its perfect. It still has a headphone jack and the button for turning on.....and I LOVE the gold! It was a surprise to me how pretty it is. I'm going ahead and buying a keyboard with bluetooth to use with this magical item! And, by the way, its always GREAT GREAT GREAT to order from B&H....these people are a COMPLETE PLEASURE!

Does anyone know what size the headphone jack on the back is? I’m trying to find a set of speakers for it and I can’t find the size anywhere.

The headphone out jack on my PC speakers finally wore out, so I needed a new way to select audio output to either speakers or headphones. This switcher seems well-built and makes it easy to quickly toggle between output sources. Being made in the USA is a nice bonus!

I like the warm sound this amp delivers through 1970s era stereo speakers via a headphone jack hook-up to a mac-mini. Also a subwoofer I can control with the bass knob. I got the usual top-grade professional advice in a question chain via email. I would shop here again and again.

Before getting this unit, I ran my four amplified audio speakers from the headphone jack on my iMac. Using audio for editing in Final Cut Pro, but also watching movies at night, I had a nest of splitters separating the stereo lines to the various speakers and also to my headphones. A friend suggested the quality would be better with a digital audio converter, so I purchased this one. I am thrilled with it. I ran all the wires under my editing table and the master volume knob is right there at the front of my desk where I can adjust it when the volume gets too loud (Bruce Willis movies, etc.) And the headphone jack is right where I need it, cutting out the amplified speakers just by plugging it in. Its the most useful addition to my computer in a long time.

These speakers sound great. They don't contain a cable to plug into the headphone jack on the computer. I had to go into my sound settings to activate them, bt that is a lesser issue. It's a great product.

I bought a used Lenovo W510 laptop which had a combined headphone/mic jack. Nice computer, but I wanted to use it with Audacity to make digital recordings. This unit is inexpensive, plugs in and works just great. Small enough to carry it in the bag with the laptop. 93 dB s/n ratio gives clean, quiet recordings. Recommend to anybody who gets a computer with combined headphone/mic jack.

It does exactly what I need. I have a high end stereo receiver and speakers connected to my iMac computer analog audio output (headphone) jack. The receiver also is connected to several other analog audio sources. I have had persistent issues with hum in the audio from the computer. I tried all sorts of things, floating grounds, reversing plugs etc and nothing worked. putting the HE-18 in line with the computer completely eliminated the hum with no adverse side effects to the audio quality. I really appreciate the flexibility of all the various input and output connections. I now have a convenient extra port where I can plug in headphones for private listening when needed. (Unlike the idiots at Apple who put the headphone jack on the back of the iMac. What were they thinking?) The engineer who designed the HE18 deserves a lot of credit. He really did his homework.
