Not sure if anyone here will know the answer to this or not, but Google has not been very helpful so far...
So basically what I want to do is be able to hook up a regular set of headphones to get game audio on my PS3. Normally my best chance to play comes at night, and I have to keep the audio quiet to keep from waking anyone up in the other room when I enter a battle on FFXIII. I output video through HDMI, so the plan is to simultaneously output audio through the RCA plug that came with the PS3, hook up this RCA to 3.5mm adapter, use this splitter for volume control, and then my headphones.
Basically what I'm skeptical about is volume. Would the PS3 output sound at 0% volume because there's no 'true' volume control in this setup, thus rendering the volume control on the splitter useless? Obviously the opposite problem would be a non-issue...if the PS3 outputs sound at 100% volume without a 'true' volume control, the splitter control would do just fine. Overall I'd only have to spend about five bucks to try this out, so I wouldn't be losing much if it doesn't work, but still it would be nice to know going in if this is the right way to go or not.
I'm open to alternative solutions too, if there's something better out there. My goal is to spend as little as possible, else I'd just get a 3.5mm to bluetooth emitter and use my wireless headphones instead since I know the volume setup would work there.
