is there a way to extend the cord from my speakers?

DaRuSsIaMaN · 05-11-2006, 11:39 PM

Hey guys. The cord from the speakers connecting into my sound card is a bit of a limitation. I'd like to have 2 different computers set up around my desk and to be able to take that cord and plug it into either one, depending on which I need to have sound on, if i'm playing a game. But right now that cord is just too short for my needs. Are there any extension devices for such cords? I know there are USB cable extenders, for instance. U plug your usb cable into a receptor thingy which is attached to another whole usb cable. So is there something like that available for these speaker cords? Or is there a different solution to my problem?

You need 3.5mm audio male to female connector wire....something like this pic

Go to any local electronics shop like Dicksmith, maybe warehouse or even u can find it on 2,3,4 dollar shop...

Yeah, just buy some more speaker cable and fit it in the middle of the cord you have now.

Id personally just use a soldering iron and some heatshrink tube.

Speaker cable costs something like 35p a meter here so its got to be all of 10c in the US!
