Volume Wheel with USB Soundcard and Headphones and Speaker

Post by IndyBonez » Thu Sep 28, 2017 2:34 am

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a bit advice in how to wire up the parts I'm attempting to use in my GBZ build.

I have the USB sound card from the Minty PI build and I would like to have both a speaker and headphones attached to this and then the volume for both controlled via a volume wheel.

I know how to wire up the speakers and headphone jack to the USB sound card (using this guide) but I'm not sure how I should fit the wheel into the equation.

Any help is appreciated

maybe not exactly what your looking for.....

but this might help a little....

it is for builds using an amp, but you can try without and see if it works.....

I think that will help alot! I was thinking I needed to wire it in between the soundcard and the headphone jack and that diagram helps me identify the right pins! Thank you very much ;)

It looks like with that wiring when you plug in the headphones only the left side will work. If you do it like mine it will do mono sound on both headphones. Better than having one headphone with sound and one without. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO ... hIU0pRa1ZB

this was just a rough guide, as the member is not using a amp

the sound will come out of both earpods, with this setup (tried and tested).....
as your wiring to the left and the right ins on the headphone socket.....
