Hey there, and welcome to the forum.

First off, I'm not quite sure I understand how a music share room works.

If it's just from sound on your PC, and you're headphones are plugged into another device, then you just need two things:

• 3.5mm Jack splitter (Male - 2x Female)
• 3.5mm Jack lead (Male - Male)

Now just follow some very simple steps:

1. Plug the splitter into the headphone out on the device
2. Plug your headphones into one of the sockets.
3. Plug the lead into the other.
4. Plug the other end into a Line In, or Mic In socket on your PC
5. Have a cold beer and a slice of cake

Job Done!

Just to add, if your headphones are plugged into your PC, (aka listening to music off your pc) Fordys solution won't work!

If that is the case, simply go into the volume control for the recording part of your Sound Card, and set it to Wave as the source.

I think it would work.. It would just be a stupid long-winded solution. Yours of course requires no hardware so is even simpler and a lot tidier.

Having a cable coming out of your headphone/line out into your mic/line in generally creates a nasty loop noise, usually a buzz or whistle. Not sure whether this is a electronic short, groundloop, feedback or whatever, but its always happened whenever ive tried it!
