Use of headphones with 5.6" Display & Audio 1280x800

Post by CRNorris »

Hi,

Since I need audio I decided to order the 5.6" Display & Audio 1280x800 (720p) Kit (PRODUCT ID: 1695).

I'd like to use headphones with it, instead of speakers. So can anyone please tell me what I'd need to do to make that work without damaging the headphones? The ones I want to use are quite expensive.

My first thought was to just use resistors to attenuate but I'd appreciate an expert insight.

Thanks

Oof - you would have to solder to the board before the amplifier. We're going to have to say its possible but we have no documentation or details or tutorials on how, and its not a good idea to risk your nice headphones - if there's DC bias or high voltages it could damage your cans!

Ok, thanks for the response. I'll try a separate HDMI audio extractor or something instead.
