    Post using headphones with klipsch speakers

    I was curious, my klipsch speakers have no headphone imputs. Is there a way for me to set up my system so that my speakers are still connected and i have the use of headphones. Also, anyone use roger wilco. I play tribes a lot and from what it sounds like, being able to talk to another team mate would be nice. I know that Tribes 2 is suppose to have some kind of voice team chat ability. Would like to know a little bit more about this.

    Buy a splitcable (audio).

    Then you can have your speakers in one and headphones in the other.

    If you don't have a volume control ON the actual speakers it may be a bit tricky as you would be listening to both the speakers and the headphones at the same time..

    Yeah, that could be tricky...still, depending on the sound card he's using, he could mute the output to the speakers, and use another output entirely for the headset...like with the sblive value, you could use the digital output for the speakers, and hook the headset input to one of the regular output jacks, and then just mute the digital out when you want the speakers dead.

    Or crawl around and reconnect things each time. Or buy an sb live plat and save some crawling when you want to disconnect things.

    Roger wilco is a cool program...i've used it before, but never with that game, so i cant help you too much on the specifics there...but yes, in pretty much ANY team type game being able to talk to your teammates can make a HUGE difference to your gameplay.....just not having to type out messages all the time is a relief in itself.

    If you've got a SBLive! you can hook up the Klipches through your digital out and your headphones through your front channel out.
