Posted January 9, 2016 Hey. I just have a random question. If I were to get a 3.5mm male to male cable and plug it in 2 motherboard 3.5mm connectors, would it short out something? I totally didn't semi-try this... (no damages tho) I started wondering about it when I noticed that if I have another 3.5mm cable attatched and enabled, if I touched it I would hear static in my headphones. So that's what randomly got me wondering if it can short something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 9, 2016 Author no its not powerful enough. Ah. So there would be no damages at all to the sound card on the motherboard if the 3.5mm cable was plugged in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headphone port connected to the microphone/line-in port won't hurt anything, headphone to headphone shouldn't hurt anything either(but is not recommended either). *Risky click of the day* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
