USB Connector

[saysun]

The headphone port on my Dell computer is starting to go wonky on me. I think the wires inside the computer case might be loose or something, and it makes the sound on my headphones constantly cut out, and then I have to jiggle the cord on the headphones and sit really still so the sound doesn't go out again.

I would like to start using my USB port to plug my headphones into, but I can't find a USB connector for headphones anywhere! There are plenty of those Sykpe headphones for sale, but I don't want a microphone sticking out when I'm watching DVD's and I already have plenty of extra headphones.

Any idea where I can buy a USB headphone jack converter/connector? And not the mini USB kind, which I mistakenly ordered and can't use.

Thanks!

Have you tried different headphones as it's usually the headphone wire that goes.
If not you could install a sound card which are cheap and plug your headphones into that.
Assuming it,s a desktop pc and not a laptop.

Could be as simple as a dirty tip!
clean the plug (something slightly abrasive - not sandpaper)

if not bongoboy is right

(unless of course there is something you're not telling us - like the brick - or the mug of tea)

Thanks for the tips, but I have several sets of new headphones, so they're not the problem. I also keep all of my equipment pretty clean, so that's not the problem either. I really just wanted to start using my USB port as an alternative to the standard headphone port.

Anyone else know if USB connectors for headphones even exist?

My bad...I found the USB 2.0 to audio adapter last night, before I came back here and noticed the link. Duh! Thanks anyway. You guys are brilliant!
