What I need is a stereo Y-adapter, but one that goes from from two connections (left and right) to one connection (headphones). They make these right, because I can't freaking find one. I need to take the audio cables from my playstation and hit them straight into headphones. I don't have my stereo and my television is mono. It's a bitch.
-
I have something like what you say, but mine is a male miniplug connection. If you are trying to hook up headphones, you would need a female connection. May need a combination of adapters for that.
-
Ok, what the fuck. Maybe I just don't know what to call this. I need three female ends: Left stereo in, right stereo in, and a headphone jack. Why the fuck can't I find this? I just looked on ebay under y adapters and couldn't see anything. I'm pretty sure I used to have one of these that came with my pc speakers/sub, but it's probably in a box in storage.
-
Sorry, I missed that for some reason (warning and all).
Yeah - you're probably right, it seems like I"ll have to combine a few of them. That works for me I guess. I might even be wrong about that other one. I'll probably go over to my storage unit to try to find it in the next couple days. I wouldn't be suprised if I did and it was something else completely. Damn.

I think the problem is that gpw is retarded.

Or am I just really good at out-sourcing?
...thanks.

"Stereo Mini Jack Y'd out to two RCA females"
I think that's what you want from that page. $2.89. My PC speakers came with the same ends, on a cable. Logitech calls it an adapter for game consoles.

Weird. It looks like three RCA jacks from that image.

I think I know the cable you're looking for! It's basically a stereo female end with a headphone extension (female) rather than a male end. I have it, pretty handy. I also have a little jack that came with my Logitech 5.1 set that does exactly that too.
Kinda like this but with a female end:

Haha, you know... come to think of it I'm pretty sure I have one of those.

That's what came with my Logitech PC speakers, exactly that.
Yeah, that image I posted before looks like 3 RCA ends, but it's what they have posted. It'd be nice to get a more useful angle on it. It might be they used the wrong picture too.
Edit: I got the Logitech's to use with the 360 at first, and I didn't know they included that cable. I couldn't find the equivalent at Microcenter, so I ended up getting these to do the job:

I laughed when I unpacked the speakers and found what I needed already there.
