How do aux cords work?
In: Technology
In what context?
Assuming you mean for some sort of stereo system, the aux cable or aux port allows you to connect your own audio device and use it with the amplifier and speaker system. There is a standard for the type and strength of electrical signal used for stereo systems (called “line level”), so any device with a “line out” port should be able to connect to a “Aux in” port and play music. You can also connect a “headphone out” to an “Aux In” port, but you will have to turn the volume up, since the line level standard is a bit louder than most headphone signals.
