I need some advise. I am wanting to combine the R/L channels on the headphone output on my computer into one channel, making it mono, so that I can hear both channels in the single speaker I have it plugged into. But I want to do it safely without damaging the output on the computer. How can that be done?
I know I can buy a cheap stereo to mono adapter from Radio Shack that would in essence just short the two channels together. Could that possibly causes damage to the output?
Another idea I had is maybe plug a cheap headphone amplifier into the headphone output first and then plug the stereo to mono adapter after that. Seems like that might isolate it off the computer output at least, removing any possibility of damage there.
Any ideas??
