Hi,
I know there is, you can get a adaptor from Radio Shack a Y adaptor, it needs to be 1/8 inch to into your speaker jack, the other end needs to be 2 1/8 inch females for your head phones and whatever else your using for the splitting. Dave Hutchins

Subject: split headphones
Hi everyone,
This question came up on another list and has sparked my interest because I
will soon be in a similar situation.
The list is for blind transcriptionists. The person asking wanted to know
whether there are split headsets that would allow her to hear dictation
played through her soundcard in one ear and software speech in the other,
with separate volume controls for each as would be allowed with an external
synthesizer. Assuming that such headphones exist and could be easily
configured to whatever PC setup, they might theoretically provide an
alternative to a hardware synthesizer. Someone directed her to Plintronic
headphones that will supposedly do this, but I don't exactly see how it is
possible. I mean, maybe I'm stupid, but on my system with a Soundblaster
Live card and dual speakers I don't think thechannels are split according to
speaker, so how could this be accomplished via a headset without either
separate speakers or another soundcard, or am I missing something? In fact,
most of the time I'm not even sure that both speakers are working, or at
least not to capacity, so is this really doable? For myself, I also have a
four-channel stereo mixer which my techie son helped me to set up so that I
can easily control my PC volume along with an external transcriber or
hardware synthe and hear them through one pair of headphones, but this kind
of sounds like the opposite process, if that makes sense. This is probably
audio 101 for most of you but I really would like to understand what is
possible. Please feel free to write me on or off list if you could either
point me to specific headphones for this and/or suggest how this is to be
done. Many thanks.
Susan
