Headphone jack in tv has stopped working when putting speakers or headphones in is making a loud clicking sound. Is there anyway to connect speakers or headphones to the tv without using this jack? Have tried running simple red and white rca jack from speakers to tv however is not working Perhaps a scart of some sort? Please help

If you have a headphone jack at the front and the back, it may be a wire to the front panel is not connected properly on the Motherboard.

try using colored wire with the copper....colors act as sound carriers and copper acts as power only connect the copper one with ONly 1 color tho .......just try having everything on and just touching the wires together before sodering

No, that's not going to work. Digital output is just that....Digital. Your trying to send a digital into analog....won't work. Your tv don't have red and white audio out. That's what you hook to, but it still wouldn't be 5.1. Your out of luck my friend. The ONLY way you'll get 5.1 out of that T.V. is to get a 5.1 reciever with CO-AX digital input...the SAME as whats on your T.V. You can only hook-up sound to your X-FI with the line in jack using a y-connector and 1/8" stereo plug....and it won't ever be 5.1. It can't that way. Only way to get 5.1 to work on the blaster is with the tosh-link optical input cable. This too is digital, but uses optics to send it. Remember, you are playing with 2 different formats. Analog with your white/red thing you made and then digital. Digital using co-ax or optical tosh-link. Completely different.....as you now know.

I just opened my Realtek HD Audio settings and clicked on 5.1 sound.. then assigned the different ports.
Make sure you have the latest audio driver update for your soundcard, and go through the software options, it'll be there somewhere..
If you think you might have a RealTek soundcard, you can find newest Realtek HD audio drivers here:

Has XP support too. Install and reboot, then the 'red' realtek volume icon should appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
You'll find the settings manager in there.

Good Luck

Hi!

You can buy a rca to 3.5mm jack adapter from the link---

And it will help you to use a headphone with your TV.

Thanks
