Audio out into typical GA headset
« on: February 13, 2019, 05:58:20 pm »
I fly various aircraft, and I don't recall any having an aux-in on the audio panel.
My noise cancelling DC headset works perfectly and i'd rather not replace it...

Can anyone recommend an in-line mixer that can inject the PAW audio output into my headset speaker input?
Or an attenuator to connect it into a spare headset mic input? (Eg for rear-seat passengers)

Or another method?

Alan.

This version to achieve what you want is a little basic but works.
There is no muting of any audio from PAW so it will burst through at any time.

You will need:

and

You run PAW output using lead 3.5mm - 6.3mm. Plug 6.3mm Jack into the Splitter and then remove Headset plug (Tel.) and plug in Splitter. The Splitter then plugs into Tel' Socket.
Sorry for muddled explanation but it works well. REMEMBER. No Audio control. It will burst over other Audio.

Thanks Garry - that's a good start, however it's going to 'back-feed' the aircraft audio into the Pi's audio output - which can't be good for it!  :-\

I fly an old single seat so the PAW Lady is my only company!
Hope you find a solution as the audible reporting of PAW is to me its most important feature.

Hi

If you need an audio amplifier to boost the signal for standard DC headsets this has been shown to work well. The reason that standard DC headsets are no so good is the at the RPi is an 8 ohm output and i think the DC are 22 ohm input or something higher so there is a mismatch with the older headsets that needs to me matched.
