I often am set up with the audio output going through my interface to headphones, and would like to occasionally in a pinch switch to my satellite computer speakers rather than regular monitors/speakers by just unplugging my headphones from the jack and plugging the computer speaker into the same headphone out in my interface. I discovered, however, that this does not work, and I don't actually get any sound. Why might this be? I am woefully naive with regards to this. Is there something with the signal or format that headphones can handle but run-of-the-mill computer speakers cannot? Does it have to do with frequency/sampling rate? For what it's worth, I have used these speakers before when outputting directly, rather than through the interface.
Thank you in advance for any insight!
