    Speaker/Headphones Short Circuit?

    If this is better in the audio/video & home theater forum, mods please feel free to move it. I have a set of Bose Companion 2 speakers hooked up to my computer, and have recently used the headphone jack in them frequently. Today I bought a new set of headphones from Apple, and (seemingly) when...
