how to split audio well?

[hans007]

I went to radio shack today and bought a headphone jack Y adapter. So i plug my headphones and my fps2000 into it, since well i'm at college and i hate having to switch when my roomate is sleeping. Anyways the bass on the fps2000 isn't nearly as good when the splitter is in. Would one with gold connectors work better or am i SOL

Give this a try. Works for me.

I plug my fps2000's to the digital out and my headphones to the front analogue. I select digital output only in the Live control panel so no sound comes out of the headphones when they're not in use, and just uncheck it when I want to use them. You have to have a Live card though...

well you have to have a live! standard or a live! platinum. It doesnt work with just a regular value, and well i am not inclined to spend $100 for a headphone jack splitter.

anyone else have any ideas? my headphones and the fps2000s have a gold speaker connector , and my y adapter had silver ones. would getting a gold y adapter help? i know gold conducts better, but does that gold plating really do anything?
