Title: Sending audio to a cell phone from a PC sound card
Post by: phantom757 on September 28, 2010, 06:43:28 PM: How can I send audio from the soundcard in my PC to a cell phone with a 2.5 mm jack. I want the other party to be able to hear the audio that I'm playing during a call. I've seen some adapters that will record a cell phone conversation to a recording device, but I want to do the opposite.

I unfortunately can't recommend any software unless you're using Linux, in which case i think Blueman does it (not 100% sure)

No I'm using a PC with Windows Vista (sucks) XP was better in many ways. So if I get compatible software I can do it via bluetooth? Any suggestions for a wired solution?

Post by: tabachi on January 30, 2012, 05:55:17 AM: Old post, but I'll mention that MOST dumbphones today use a 1/8" tip-sleeve (mono) connector instead of the 1/8" tip-ring-sleeve (stereo) 3.5mm cable you'd use with headphones. From personal experience, my previous two phones required a resistive load on the tip, and trying to short the ring with the tip into a stereo caused the phone to mute itself. I believe this is a TTY accommodation.
