hey there, its been a few days i had my ideas to plug my headphone through my TV to get my sound from TV/PS3 how ever i didnt have any headphone input so i went for a RCA Y TO 3.5mm and though it would fix my issue but i tryed via my computer for trying(wont use it for that when i have a good sound card already) but notice the volume was very low, i even pushed the volume at the max and it didnt matter, same happen on PS3 and on my TV

could this mean i need a amp to get a volume control over what i want? also it could be used for PC and Ds eventually

thanks for your answer and hope to get a hand

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to drive headphones with the RCA outs on your TV? If so, then yes, you need an amp.

Sounds like you have a line level signal, so yes you need an amp.

thats exactly what i though after reading google(yet no headphone on lcd tv sucks)

i was wondering if the fiio E5 could do enought for the purpose?

If you are just looking for volume from your television, then yes.

check with multiple other post(and google off course) im not a audio specialist has you can see (heh but i have played maybe 4 times more video games that you might did do

) and last try was headphone with volume or extension with volume-in (amazon is terrible for giving such ideas) and all my hopes were right, it doesnt work

now im pretty sure the only way is a AMP correctly?

ps: side-question, headphone would be better plugged via soundcard(onboard) or via speaker(logitech has a headphone plug that can be connected via the volume controller)
