Hello everybody,
I bought the heapdphone adapter but it works really bad. I can barely hear the sounds. There are somo type of sounds (the simplier that are like beeps) that it's volume is higher than the others but it's still low.
I think it's missing a contact, I have somthing like this:
o--o o is a contact
-ooo - is an empty space
l_
-> I think i'm missing this contact, it's one of the two that are present in the battery charger cable, I think it's the + one

So, what do you think about it?
thanks

I've got one of those SP adaptors, a 3rd party one that I think I bought it in Game (UK video game shop) and it works as expected. The contacts are the same as those in your diagram. So the problem is probably something else.

Yeah, I got one of those from a Japanese exporter website...it is garbage. Then I found the Nintendo SP headphone...and it is awesome. I would suggest going with the higher end headphones.
